J'ai passé un entretien chez LinkedIn en août 2021
Entretien
My phone screen went well. The engineer that interviewed me was really engaged and asked good questions. My recruiter was helpful and nice too.
But, my virtual onsite experience was not good... My interviewers asked me a hard question, but they were not engaged at all, and they were not supportive.
I explained to them the right solution (I checked it after the interview), but they didn't express any positive emotions. Zero collaboration. They kept silent a lot. I always felt like I was doing something wrong.
At this moment, I'm interviewing with other companies like Google and Amazon. And they interview so much better than Linkedin! They are much more supportive, they ask questions, give hints, and they smile. By the way, Linkedin say that humor and collaboration are the part of their culture. Based on my experience, this is not true.
The engineers were not properly trained to interview people.
The phone screen was more intense than I'd anticipated, lasting about 45 minutes with a mix of behavioral and technical questions. They probed my understanding of system design, specifically challenging me to think through a notification delivery service. I felt prepared, thanks to the company-specific questions I found on PracHub that outlined similar scenarios. The final rounds focused heavily on the scalability and reliability of systems. After a series of interviews, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a rigorous but rewarding experience.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Design LinkedIn's notification fan-out service that delivers post-engagement notifications (e.g. someone reacted to your post or commented on your article) to millions of subscribers in near real-time, including how you would handle 'hotspot' creators with millions of followers, deduplicate redundant notifications when many actions target the same content, and guarantee at-least-once delivery across regional failures.

Entretien
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.
