Web Developer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Contacted via recruiter.
Had a phone screen with HR, and then a phone screen with a Senior Developer.
Then had an online code interview via CollabEdit (IF you're interviewing, I strongly recommend becoming familiar with CollabEdit before this step. It's... an interesting tool).
Flew out there for an onsite. Everyone was very welcoming. Everyone knew my name and they greeted me with some welcoming swag.
Flew back home and received a call two business days later with an offer.
You need to be very comfortable with your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript during the on-site. If not, I'm sure this would be very difficult. Lots of whiteboarding.
Questions
While writing the markup for a page on a whiteboard, I was asked why I didn't use
- tags instead of what I had written.

LinkedIn Work Experiences
- 4.0Great Pay, Little GrowthWeb Developer • Former EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesJuly 26, 2015Pros: Salary is good, and work-life balance is great.Cons: Not a lot of career growth opportunities.
- 5.0Awesome company, getting biggerWeb Developer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesJanuary 9, 2015Pros: All the Silicon Valley perks you would imagine: flexible schedule, food, transportation, etc. A big emphasis on "ownership."Cons: It's getting to be a big company, which brings all the politics and bureaucracy, for better or worse.
- 5.0A place you feel at homeWeb Developer • Current EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesSeptember 23, 2014Pros: Aside from all the shiny things (free food, great compensation, and a very fun and inviting environment), this company has made me feel welcome. The collaborative environment here at LinkedIn inspires relationship building and spurs creativity. Because of it, I understand how each team contributes, why each is important, and how I can optimize to be a better contributor myself. I feel encouraged to grow, but never pressured to overexert myself. This is a company that preaches and practices good work-life balance.Cons: I do feel like there is a ceiling at LinkedIn, but it is one that exists at any established company. It saddens me to know that if I want to make something more out of my career, like break into a steady, high six-figure range or make a few million dollars, I'm probably going to have to move on to a different company.
