I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
After phone conversation with recruiter, I had phone interview in following week. Interviewer called me on time. But I was given the wrong interviewer. First he went through my experience. and then gave two coding problems. I felt he did not prepare for his interview problems well. We spent lots of time on the time complexity. Also it seems that he wanted the answer he wanted, and not realized there are several solutions.

Question 1
