Process

I was contacted via email by a recruiter regarding a software engineering role within the mobile teams.

I then had a technical phone screening, which included a question about general data structures and algorithms on Coderpad.

Following that, I had an onsite interview that consisted of:

  • A manager chat
  • A mobile-specific coding project
  • A general data structures and algorithms whiteboard question
  • A general software design question
  • Lunch

The interview was straightforward yet challenging. All the interviewers were well-trained and guided me through the solutions.

Questions

Architect the LinkedIn home screen (feed) for the mobile app.
