There was a screening round that checked for basic JavaScript, HTML, and CSS knowledge.

Next, there were six rounds:

• Product & Technical Taste: Tech stacks and current projects, challenging problems solved.
• Coding: Prototypes, closure-related JS questions.
• SDA: Build a typeahead component using React.
• Host Manager: Cultural fit, problems faced in the current job.
• Pragmatic: Build a basic Google Spreadsheet-like component using HTML, CSS, and JS.
• JavaScript: Implement an infinite scrollable plugin using HTML, CSS, and JS, fully focused on JS. Part of that included implementing debounce for the scrolling handler.

Overall, the interviewers were very polite and helpful. They tried to nudge me in the right direction, and it was a pleasant conversation.

However, I have to point out the SDA round where the interviewer seemed unhappy because my approach wasn't what he expected. I disagreed with him on some concepts, which I made sure to check after the interview, and I was correct about those concepts. The way he talked afterward seemed disinterested in carrying forward the interview.

Suggestion to LinkedIn: Please avoid such people from interviews who can't accept their mistakes. Every dev you interview has their own approach to bring to the table, and interviewers can make mistakes, but they should own them. It totally affects the overall interview because of one interviewer. The rest of the interviewers were really great, helpful, and friendly enough to talk to; it felt like I was talking to a coworker.
