LinkedIn Software Engineer, Data Mining/Data Analysis/Machine Learning interview questions

The interview process was positive but the Recruiter experience is negative. I was referred to a Data Scientist position but recruiter switched me to this position saying I don’t have e-commerce experience. She told me to prepare medium to hard coding questions so I took some classes and learned data structure and algorithms. And I postponed my interview and prepared two months to find that the position is more towards the data scientist position instead of software engineer and they tested me statistics and not much coding. The recruiter’s Instruction is really misleading and she refused to admit that after the interview and blamed me for poor performance in the interview.

I applied through employee referral. First had to clear a phone screen which was a mix of problem solving (Leetcode Easy) and conceptual questions on Machine Learning(just algorithms and how they work). I heard back from them the same day. Then I was called onsite, where I had to 6 rounds with 2 engineers in each round. The Algorithms and data structure questions were from Leetcode Medium. It's more of a discussion rather than an interview. The entire process was fun. But they took 2+ weeks to give out their decision.
