LinkedIn Software Developer interview questions

Contacted by recruiter through a resume database. Completed a Hackerrank coding challenge, 30 min phone screen with recruiter, and then 2 one hour technical phone interviews. The interview questions were pretty standard (algorithms/data structures). Would've rated the experience as positive except my recruiter was pretty unresponsive throughout the process (for example, they would ask me for my availabilities and then not reply to me for a week, then schedule my interview for a time that I told them I wasn't available at).

Technical phone interview involved 2 engineers working on a single problem. The difficulty of the question was average. You write code on a online texteditor. The problem given would have an extension of it if you solve it timely. My issues with this interview: I solved the problem but wasn't able to solve the extension problem due to time constraint. I did not proceed to the next steps and the reasons were I thought was just hypocritical and unessential. Syntax+conventions. When I started coding, I mentioned for the sake of time, syntax and conventions won't be included and if they were alright with this - Engineers OKAY'ed on that. Such helpful feedback. Boggles my mind. I been in interviews where engineers had clear communication throughout the entire process and were very engaged. These engineers weren't. Doesn't speak for all engineers at LinkedIn. Did not have a positive experience.
