Process

The interview process was excellent. Out of all the companies I interviewed with, I felt the most comfortable talking to my recruiter from LinkedIn. After each round, you'll receive direct, personalized feedback via a phone call. Here's how the process unfolded:

  1. Recruiter Phone Screen: My recruiter found my resume online and got in touch. The call was pretty direct and lasted about 45 minutes. They discussed my past experience and why I wanted to work at LinkedIn. I received the first technical phone screen after this.

  2. Technical Phone Screen: This round started with a brief introduction of myself and the interviewer, followed by two coding questions. Both were pretty standard. I cleared this round and advanced to the final phone screen.

  3. Final Technical Phone Screen: This round was pretty similar to the first technical screen. Now, here's something important: DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKES I DID! I was very nervous and couldn't keep my calm before the interview. As a result, I over-complicated a pretty straightforward question. I jumped into coding before thoroughly thinking the problem through, which took a lot of time and trial and error to arrive at a working solution. Remember to think before you code and ask clarifying questions. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it past this final round (though I could have done so easily, and so can you!)
