I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Not much to it. Very unresponsive recruiter, who EVENTUALLY got my interview scheduled.
I was supposed to be interviewed by a Sr Engineer, who was shadowed by a Jr Dev, but the Jr Engineer was the only one who showed up to the call.
His interviewing was pretty dry, and not much for conversation.

Given a nested list of integers, returns the sum of all integers in the list weighted by their depth

Interview
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.
