I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Sept 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me via Linkedin.
Whole interview has 2 round as phone round & onsite round
Phone Round - 1 Hour split as 30 mins Python & 30 mins Sql. Questions were not difficult if practice some Leetcode question of Google & Facebook.
Onsite Round- Currently onsite round is virtual. There were 5 rounds in it.
1) Hiring Manager round- General questions like why linkedin etc
2) Data Manipulation - Simple sql questions, but do practice to write same sql in python
3) Data Architecture/Data Modeling - Question was more like an ETL question & not data modeling question.
4) Basic Statistics - Nothing much just simple probability type questions
5) Algorithm - It was again like data manipulation round. There coder pad was not working properly and even the interviewer was not sure what this issue going on. The interviewer joined as lets start data manipulation round where as the round was for algorithm. I think its internal sync issue.
