It was overall good experience. The interviewers were very friendly. The process seemed a bit lengthy. The first step was initial screening, then coding assessment, then technical interview. And the last one was with one of the clients.

The interview process typically begins with a recruiter screening call, where a recruiter discusses your background, interest in the role, and basic eligibility. If you pass this stage, you're invited to take an online coding assessment, usually through HackerRank, which includes data structures and algorithm problems like implementing an LRU cache or finding the longest substring without repeating characters. Upon clearing the test, a technical phone interview is scheduled where you're asked to solve coding problems live, explain your thought process, and possibly debug code. If successful, you're invited to the final onsite round (sometimes conducted virtually), which consists of multiple interviews, including a deep-dive coding round, a system design interview (e.g., designing a URL shortener), and a behavioral round to assess cultural fit and communication skills. The entire process emphasizes problem-solving ability, coding clarity, and alignment with LinkedIn’s values.

The software engineering interview process generally includes multiple stages: an initial phone screen with technical questions or coding challenges, followed by a technical interview with system design and problem-solving tasks. Candidates may face behavioral interviews assessing teamwork, communication, and culture fit. Some companies also include take-home assignments or live coding tests.
