Process
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn.
We scheduled a brief chat about my experience and interests, and the recruiter was very nice and helpful.
Following that, an interview call was scheduled with two technical interviewers from different teams.
We used an online code review portal for this call.
Initially, they introduced themselves. Then, I had to discuss my work and past experience.
After that, we moved on to coding problems, mostly related to algorithms.
After this call, the next stage is an on-site interview, which typically consists of 3 to 5 interviews.
Questions
Not into specifics, but the questions were related to creating a function that behaves similarly to Integer helper methods (i.e., toString, parseInt, valueOf).
Another question was related to searching for a number in an array.

Here, we have persons who know how to have fun. Work-life balance depends on your ambition. With overwhelming opportunities to learn new technologies, know smart and experienced people, investigate product and system designs, and evaluate and build your own ideas, I sometimes got lost in what to do in our free time, such as inDay. We are encouraged to ask the company for whatever we expect and be brave to transform ourselves. LinkedIn is an immense platform for all employees. As long as you are actively engaged, your gains will be incredible.Cons: A little bit worried about the company expansion, which might have some negative effect on the culture. But I have the confidence that we will keep it right! We are still in a startup mode. To implement something, it might take a long time to investigate the huge codebase for what you want without good documentation and proper guidance, which slows down the speed to some extent.
