Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) nel mese di set 2017
Colloquio
The interview process was initially very smooth and professional. I was contacted by the recruiter, after this call we scheduled a technical phone screen next week. The technical interview was extremely easy (online coding via collabedit). After successfully passing this one, they scheduled another technical phone screen (the reason being - previous interviewer asked a wrong question, which was for a more junior position.... wtf???). Fine. 2nd technical phone screen went well too, and I got scheduled for an onsite.
Onsite interview went pretty well, as I felt. Had about 5-6 rounds - hiring manager, other engineers, lunch. Questions were pretty straight forward, nothing too complicated (whitboard coding and design). If you brush up on your algos and data structures, you should be good.
Now the interesting part comes into play. I have never heard from the recruiter since after the interview. I mean - NEVER. I sent a few emails, saying that I assume I didn't pass, but I was curious to hear feedback. And I got no answer. Nothing at all. I didn't expect to see such a disrespect from a company like LinkedIn. What a waste of time.

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.

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.
