Process
This is the worst interview experience I've had. After one month, the HR gave me feedback and told me not to move forward.
The final interview round was really bad. The interviewer seemed not to listen to me and refused to understand my solution. He just said it was wrong, but it was correct.
So, I used another way, and he said it was really good. I finished two questions in 30 minutes with the most efficient algorithm, and he agreed with it. Then he let me end 15 minutes early.
In the end, I was just outright rejected after one month. How much worse could it be?
I will never interview with LinkedIn if they let such HR and interviewers keep doing such things.

- 5.0Amazing work culture & benefitsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 16, 2022Pros: Amazing food, some of the best benefits in the perks, discounts, 401k matches, and holiday policies of all the companies I've been in.Cons: Growth can be a little slow after a promotion.
- 2.0Not a good company for entry-levelSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJuly 21, 2022Pros: some teams are good, work life balanced. free food(not as good as before), free snacks.Cons: Some managers are pretty bad. Micromanagement a lot. And he acted like a king, and you should not obey him. He judged your work based on points, always keeping pressure on you. And he would do something really annoying: email you about your 'performance,' BCC someone higher level, making you look bad. This is not a good manager. He compared you with senior developers with many years of experience, asking why you cannot figure things out. Such a rude guy. Even if you found another good team to join, he warned you about low performance being bad, but did not let you go. Such a drama person.
