Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

October 1, 2010
Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The interview process consists of one phone interview and two on-site interviews.

I had a positive experience interviewing with LinkedIn. I looked over the reviews here before I went. Some criticized the working environment and the interview process, but I experienced the opposite.

Everyone I met was friendly and smart, and they spoke highly of their team environment. The building and conference rooms where I interviewed were clean and updated. The HR person I worked with was very helpful and communicated well.

So, maybe they saw the reviews here and made improvements?

They asked a few harder questions, which I see as a good sign because you can expect your future coworkers to be competent. I think the company still has great unrealized potential, and I like the director and the hiring team a lot, so I ended up choosing them over another more competitive offer.
