      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 23, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      I was contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter. We scheduled a time to talk on the phone. During the phone conversation, he explained what the process was going to be like, and we scheduled the first phone interview. I had a total of two phone interviews. Both of them were conducted by two engineers and involved problem solving and questions. I was then scheduled for an in-house interview. The in-house interview consisted of 5 interviews: all except for one were conducted by two engineers. Two covered coding, one covered system design, one covered team work (which was also a design question) and the last covered engineering communication.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A multithreading question. Has I prepared for this, it would have been easy. But noting I've been programming in a single-threaded environment in the last 4 years, I struggled with this.
