      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mumbai) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      I applied through university. The first round was of coding from hackerrank. 3 question of coding in which two of them were easy. After a month I got a reply from LinkedIn that I have been selected. Then next interviews were scheduled after a month from the date when results were announced. All were telephonic interview. Got call on Skype. Second round was technical and coding they tested my testing skills as well. Third round was also coding and here my knowledge about algorithms were tested. Then fourth round was full of technical question and no coding as we were running out of time. Then I never got a call back from them about the result not even a yes or no. I waited for a month but didn't get a call. They could have shown some courtesy by replying to me with a yes or no. Even the interviewee time is precious. Since I did well so was expecting a call.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      The hiring process consisted of a brief phone interview (not technical) with the hiring manager. I was asked to come over for an onsite interview that would last for 3 hours. A day before the interview, the recruiter informed me that the interview has been cut short to 45 minutes. Couple of engineers met me at the lobby, seems like they were unprepared because they were looking for empty conference rooms right at the time of the interview. The technical questions were generally easy, if you know basic data structures/algorithms, Big O notation, you should be good to go. (definitely not as hard as google interviews). The interviewers were very nice and professional. I got the following feedback after the interview - " Interview went well. I sync up with interviewers and based on feedback the candidate has very limited technical skills geared towards C++ and little bit of scripting. Its a reject from our end" It's funny because the reason I applied for this req is because it stated "Extensive programming experience in Objective C or C/C++". Feedback to the hiring manager: you should get your requirements straightened out before you put out a req.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      basic data structures/algorithms/big O notation. Should be able to apply algorithms such as binary search, hashing etc as and when needed.
