I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Got an interview at Sunnyvale, CA. Well organized, consisted of 6 different modules: Recruiter Meeting, Incident Response and Management, Service Design and Architecture, Code Review and Analysis, Host Manager, Live Troubleshooting.
I failed miserably on all 6 and needless to say no offer (plus I got a cool down period of 3 years before I can apply to LinkedIn again).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the Live Troubleshooting segment I was tasked with fixing the broken Apache HTTPD. After spending an half an hour trying to get to the problem I been told that the server must had an internal problem that I failed to pinpoint.
Overall it was a good interview process, the coding assesment was very good and had MCQ s as well as dsa questions . practice well and it's not hard to crack.
