I received a recruiter message on LinkedIn. First, I had a technical phone screen, and later I was called for an on-site interview where I met multiple software engineers. My experience at LinkedIn was a bit strange, as I felt a few employees who interviewed me had some attitude problems. This made me lose interest in the company during the interview process.
I was interviewing for a Software Engineer in Test position, and my experience lies in UI automation and code analysis. I was asked about OS concepts, multi-threading, thread pools, etc., which were not entirely relevant.
When I asked the interviewers how much multi-threading they use at LinkedIn for automation, they said, "No, we don't use multi-threading."
It was a great setback to be tested on skills I don't have experience with, skills that weren't in the job description, or skills not used in the company itself.
Overall, I was not very happy with the interview experience, and even if I had received an offer, I would have declined it.
String manipulation.
