LinkedIn Web Developer interview questions

1 high level phone screen -- covering a range of front end topics. Accessibility, the box model, app performance, etc. 2 technical phone screens (using collabedit), one covering CSS specificity and closures, the other to build a small widget from the web app 5 hours of on site technical coding interviews (~1 hr per person). Problems covered implementing common functions, extending prototypes, recursing the DOM tree, CSS edge cases, also implementing a section of the live site. Culture seemed pretty good. However, prepare to be a cog in the 80+ web developer machine.

The interview process was probably the most enlightening interview process I had out of all of the jobs I applied for. It started out by being contacted by a recruiter several months back. At the time I was not looking for a position. Well that changed a month or two later. First I talked to a recruiter. Shortly after that I had a technical phone screening, where they probed for my understanding of javascript, html, and css. You should understand what makes these things powerful and also understand their shortcomings. After that I had 2 more interviews where I did some live coding where you have to replicate the functionality of a given design. Decided to write one using just Javascript and the other with jQuery to save time. After that I was asked to come do an onsite interview. A lot more of the same stuff but way more in depth. Get comfortable with white boarding problems! Knowing how a browser works may help you. Anyways, a week and half later I got an offer. Yay!
