      Software Engineer Interview

      May 13, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      I had my first phone interview with them. They seemed like nice poeple. But one of them was hired at linkedin a month before my interview and the other interviewer around 6 month before. I checked their background and they were almost new graduates from BS!! I have MS and couple of years of working experience. They asked me about my project and when I started talking about Weka algorithm and how I used it in my project, they were constantly asking what is WEKA?!! I was surprised that they didn't even know about that. Then they asked two questions. First was too simple, but they were trying to exaggerate it. I solved it with two different approaches. The second one was complicated but the issue was my internet connection got lost at the beginning of that and I couldn't resolve the connection issue so couldn't code it but provided the solution verbally and explained to them that I didn't at all expect internet connection issues. The interviewer said my verbal solution is correct. I was so mad at Comcast at that time, we switched to a faster service and it apparently became worst. around 2 weeks later I got an Email from recruiter that I wasn't the best match! Seriously, they didn't even give me a second chance even though they knew it wasn't my fault. Anyway, overall being judged by a person who was hired a month ago at Linkedin right after collage, I didn't expect much more than this.

      Question 1

      1. I don't remember exactly what the question was but the interviewer was looking for a solution in which instead of any extra data structure you were going to utilize the input itself which was an array and modify the input itself to save some space.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA)

      Interview

      Interviewed for an SDE role. The process was well-organized and the recruiters were responsive throughout. That said, the technical rounds were significantly more challenging than expected — definitely come prepared to go deep. Overall a valuable experience regardless of the outcome.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at LinkedIn

      Interview

      That was a real stroke of luck — when I got to the coding round and encountered a question on finding the maximum subarray sum, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com a few days earlier. The interview kicked off with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical phone interview. It was intense, especially with the focus on algorithms and data structures. I also faced some behavioral questions that challenged my experience. After a final onsite round, I received an offer and happily accepted. Overall, it was tough but rewarding.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum. Walk through Kadane's algorithm and explain the O(n) approach.
