      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      18 Feb 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011

      Interview

      Applied on company website. Got call immediately. It was for tools development for the management of Linkedin Servers (NMS/ EMS applications development). Interview process took almost 3 weeks. They took 5 rounds for me - 4 face to face and 1 - telecon (from US). I cleared all of them. After that they said I have cleared all of them. They will arrange one more last one with US folks. But no communication after that. HR did not reply to mail nor picked up the phone. In short totally UNPROFESSIONAL people. They dont know how to communicate to people. At least have courtesy to pickup the call. HR at Linkedin India are immature. They called me 4 times to their office in the week days for face to face interview and did not even speak to me afterwards. No coffee/ tea/ water was even offered. Very arrogant. The reason I feel they rejected me was they got another candidate from my company. Pretty cheap, they could have at least told me/ rejected me in the beginning.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Started directly with technical question. How do you design the monitoring system for linkedin servers? Some C, C++ questions..also on Data structures...
