Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied a few years back but didn't get in then. I reached out to the same recruiter this time around, and they got the interview process rolling.

All the recruiters I've interacted with at LinkedIn have definitely been a lot friendlier and overall great to work with, compared to other big companies and most smaller companies.

The interview process did take a long time, though (about 1.5 months).

All the interviewers were pretty good in terms of personal skills, in my opinion.

I just studied a lot of data structures, algorithms, and system design (for the onsite), and I was good.

Process:

  • Chat with recruiter
  • Phone tech interview
  • Chat with recruiter
  • Onsite
  • Chat with a team manager

Questions

Signed NDA. Just study data structures, algorithms, and system design, and you'll be good. I did almost all the problems listed for LinkedIn on Glassdoor, as well as a bunch of HackerRank problems.
