I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Jun 2012
Interview
Got contacted by a recruiter on, yes, LinkedIn. I was surprised given my limited web background, but wanted to see if I could get an offer. The recruiter called me and we had a nice chat and she setup an interview with a senior recruiter. The day I was supposed to talk to the senior recruiter, I got an EMAIL 30 minutes before the interview saying they reviewed my skills again and would not be moving forward.
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.
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.
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.
