Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 6 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) nel mese di giu 2013
Colloquio
I was contacted by a LinkedIn recruiter. She was very responsive over email.
I then had a phone screen with an engineer. The phone screen did exactly what a phone screen should, it made sure I wasn't lying on my resume. The interviewer had me do some basic coding over collabnet. He also was very helpful in answering my questions about the company.
Having passed the phone screen I went in for an in-person interview. It was an all day affair where I got there at 10 and was out by 5:30 or so. The day consisted of a series of 45 minute interviews with pairs of engineers and managers from various groups in the department for which I was interviewing.
They have a well oiled interview machine going there. When I arrived they presented me with a loaner iPad which had my interview schedule, they gave me a tour of the campus, and when I got to the actual room where I was going to interview they had a number of goodies for me as gifts.
Unlike companies such as Google, the interview questions were aimed at assessing my skills rather than establishing the interviewer's alpha-geek status. Many questions were challenging without being "gotcha" questions. They were the sort of questions that an experienced engineer should be able to answer.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Consider an X x Y array of 1's and 0s. The X axis represents "influences" meaning that X influences Y. So, for example, if $array[3,7] is 1 that means that 3 influences 7.
An "influencer" is someone who influences every other person, but is not influenced by any other member.
Given such an array, write a function to determine whether or not an "influencer" exists in the array.

Was greeted by a person who basically walked me around the office during my interview, did a couple of rounds with a group on a whiteboard solving a coding challenge, and one to solve a software architecture challenge. Had lunch onsite. And one round of interview with someone who wasn't technical.
