I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
1. Basic Coding Challenge 2. 1 Hour with Hiring Manager, 1 Hour Technical with members of the team 3. Decision All throughout, there are short calls with your recruiter (likely non-evaluative)!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral: be sure you can talk to your past internship experiences (technically challenging problem, something you're proud of, etc) Technical: DSA coding problems
interviewer kept reschduling to the point where most positions were full already. Whole process of getting original interview scheduled to last interview was over a month. Was very relatively difficult interview.
One online assessment (pretty standard leetcode type question)
Recruiter call (not really a screen, it was just a chat, and here i scheduled my interviews)
Technical Interview (do Leetcode Tagged)
Hiring Manager ( it was really chill. it was pretty much just a chat)
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Bengaluru) in Aug 2025
Interview
Two rounds
Technical and HR
Technical round focused solely on DSA but might be different for different colleges
HR round was like a blind date.
Very enjoyable experience overall..
Must thoroughly know your projects OR be very good at communication skills, I was the latter as I didn’t have time to thoroughly go through the projects I had done.

Question 1
I was stuck with a O(n log m) logic for a O(n + m) problem. “Where do you go when you are stuck?”
