I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (London, England)
Interview
Three rounds of interviews. First with a recruiter. Second with my eventual manager, which included a role play/case study. Third was two short interviews (back to back) with two other managers.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA)
Interview
OA -> Chat w/ Recruiter -> Final Interview Overall a very smooth process, the final interview was technical and it consisted of two questions. The first was a leetcode medium and the second was hard but I didn't have to finish my implementation of the hard!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Sliding window question and then a recursive backtracking question.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Oct 2023
Interview
Ridiculous. Had initial call with recruiter, talk with potential manager, great guy. Final interview is a presentation. The recruiter sends me the rubric to prepare, and then runs off to PTO for however long. They schedule the interview 2 WEEKS from this date, so I put a ton of work in and build a fantastic PowerPoint for the call. I get to the call and the presentation is nothing like I was told(find out later the recruiter sent me the wrong instructions). At the end they mention I shouldn't have made a presentation, and rather should have just asked discovery questions for 20 minutes to the 1 contact(I was told there'd be 2 and they'd be decision makers) to a non-decision maker. It was an absolute waste of time.. why would you consider hiring somebody for a role based on their ability to ask questions to somebody without purchasing power?? The Regional Vice President basically tore up the presentation in his review after, and when I asked about a specific product I pitched, he said he "didn't know anything about" the product so he couldn't speak on it. That's reassuring. Took them 3 weeks to tell me I didn't get the role, even though I knew 10 minutes after the presentation. No hard feelings to the Manager for this role, he was great throughout, but it was an abject waste of time. If you're looking to prep for this presentation, feel free to show up with zero preparation, as opposed to hours of prep work wasted on my end.
