      Software Engineering Intern Interview

      13 Dec 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Mountain View, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Dec 2013

      Interview

      Applied online and got contacted several hours later. First I have a phone screen with the recruiter. I chose the groups I am interested and scheduled a technical phone interview. After I passed the first phone interview, I got called by the recruiter and scheduled two back-to-back phone interviews with two teams from my first-choice group. After the two interviews was a 30-min talk. Got offers from both teams and I gotta choose one of them.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing particularly difficult. However, often they do not ask explicitly such as implement a certain algorithm or what does a certain data structure look like. They would instead put you into a real-problem scenario and you gotta choose what's the best data structure and algorithm. After you got an initial answer, they would try to push you further, such as asking how to optimize efficiency, what if the algorithm assumption has changed, what are the extreme cases where there might be a pitfall etc. Be prepared for such followups.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      Very nice process with an OA, phone screen and then Technical/Behavioral Final Round. Genuinely enjoyed the process and met some great people that lead me to take the offer. Just make sure you have knowledge of your projects and can show your impact. Also simple DSA will get you through the interviews, hardest part is just getting the interview, lmao.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why did you design [specific part of project] this way, and what difficulties did you have when implementing it?
