LinkedIn Sr Software Engineer interview questions

Phone Screen: They followed the usual collabedit.com based shared document to write code for the given question. The interviewer was nice and had good communication skills. I bombed the interview, possibly due to the prompts required to answer the question. Their expectations are higher. No sour grapes here, the process is fair, better than other companies. With this out of the way, here is some feedback to LI itself: One important point, I realized was the fact that, any line you type on the screen is considered final. My thought process is to exercise my own code and find issues with it. The interviewer was immediately jumping in pointing out things. Holes in the logic should be fine to point out, but, leave a minute or two to let the person think. It is a tough(only for some people, obviously) thing to pull off a balance between showing the interviewer what you are thinking Vs. solving the problem itself. I feel that an experienced engineer can't simply survive a day not knowing some of the things the interviewer mentioned in my interview. I write decent C++ code day-in and day-out which is reviewed at a very high standard. So, rejection from LI was a damning indictment of my "coding skills". So, be prepared to feel the worst engineer on the planet for a good month or so, if you do get rejected.

First round is HR round .Which is just basic talk.The hr guys will be great and will help you out in whatever way they can. Then a collabedit round will be set up and they will use blue jeans for setting up the meeting . All this is fine and nothing to worry About. The question given to me was absurdly easy .. i dont even know why such an easy question was asked to guy having so much experience. The interviewer had a sheet in which a question was provided by hr and he explained it to me and started discussing.
