I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn itself, scheduled a small talk about my experience and interests, recruiter was very nice and helpful. Then scheduled an interview call with two more technical interviewers from different teams using an online review-coding portal, first they introduce themselves, then you need to talk a bit about what you do and your past experience and then move to the coding problems, mostly related to algorithms. After that call the process is to interview on-site where you could have from 3 to 5 interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not into specifics but questions were related to creating a function that behaves similar to Integer helper methods (i.e. toString, parseInt, valueOf) and another related to searching a number in an array
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.
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.

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.
Overall, a good interview process and the team were very friendly during the interview process and it was very good and pleasant. Nothing in regard to negative feedback or anything as such like that.
