LinkedIn interview questions

Meet with 6-7 people, there are coding/algorithm questions, design questions and behavior questions. The overall experience is nice and people are smart and friendly. People might asks some unexpected algorithm problems which is challenging, but it is good discussion.

The interview process was long and extensive - as forewarned. I met over a dozen people on the team over the course of several interviews which included some travel. Travel was attempted to be handled internally on behalf but was more frustrating and stressful than a help in the process. I was invited to the final round of interviews and felt that I hit every benchmark put before me during the process. I was later told they wanted to go a different direction and find a candidate from Google or Facebook. Based on my research, that would be a tall order since LinkedIn does not offer much more in the way of benefits and does not pay nearly as well as either company. I'm not sure why anyone would want to leave Google or Facebook to work at LinkedIn - there's no upside.
