Process

Almost all technical rounds had an interviewer shadowing someone, meaning you'll have two people to talk to.

First Round: Technical Phone Screen

  • Two LeetCode medium-ish questions in one hour.

Onsite Rounds

  1. Coding (Algorithms): Focused on LeetCode medium-level questions with an emphasis on optimal algorithms and runtime. Two questions in one hour.
  2. Coding (Structure): Focused on how you organize your code. Not strictly LeetCode, but this one felt hard on LeetCode. Two questions in one hour.
  3. Past Project: Essentially a system design discussion of something you've built. The interviewer will ask questions throughout.
  4. System Design: A standard system design question. This round utilized the whiteboard feature in Zoom, which was not ideal.
  5. Hiring Manager: Purely behavioral, discussing your career path and your interest in LinkedIn.
