Process
I applied online via LinkedIn, and the recruiter contacted me for an initial touch base and set up the first phone screen.
The interview wasn't tough. There were two senior engineers who asked a couple of test downtime questions.
Then came the coding part, where I was asked to print a level order of a binary tree in a tree format. I solved the first part of the problem with a recursive approach in two minutes, but got stuck on printing it like a tree, as the recursive approach made it more difficult to put the line breaks in the right places. The interviewer was giving hints, but it was already too late. I was then asked to write sample test cases for the same.
After a couple of days, I got an email from HR stating that I didn't pass the screen.
But I would definitely recommend the company and wish all the best to future employees!
Questions
Given a binary tree, print the in-level order with each level on a separate line.

LinkedIn Work Experiences
- 5.0Excellent work-life balance, difficult problems to solveStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesDecember 13, 2022Pros: Work-life balance is excellent. Upper management is very supportive. I have never been death-marched through completion of a project that had impossible deadlines here. Many companies you talk to will say that they have scaling problems, but compared to LinkedIn, their problems are trivial. There are some really interesting problems to work on here and the data volume is massive. You won't get many other opportunities to work on a system like this at other companies. The company will invest in new technology even if the payoff will not be realized even in the first 5-10 years.Cons: Making large changes that affect many other parts of the org can be frustrating. It can take years to follow through on a large change because you have to convince so many people who have conflicting incentives to get on board with your proposal. Executing on the plan can still take years because, while the first 80% of any migration might take a few months, the long tail of other teams can take an entire year or more sometimes. It's OK to be ambitious, but just be prepared for everything to take a really long time.
