Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 1, 2014
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online on their career site and was contacted by a recruiter two weeks later.

Initial phone screen with the recruiter: I was asked if I currently held any other offers, the names of companies that had scheduled interviews with me, my top choice companies, and why I wanted to work at LinkedIn. It went well.

Technical phone interview:

  • Find duplicates in an integer array.
  • Given a log file, how do you parse the valid IP addresses and ensure there are no duplicates?
