LinkedIn visited our campus in Oct’22 for Software Development Engineer Internship role.

Resumes were filtered out by LinkedIn itself and eligible candidates received the confirmation for selection in the recruitment process.

1. Coding Round (90 Mins.) 

Consists of 2 coding questions and 10 MCQs.

Both coding questions have medium difficulty. I can’t remember both questions exactly but as far as I remember 1st problem was similar to 3-Sum while the other was related to stacks.

MCQs were mostly on Data structures, OOPs, Sorting Techniques, and Algorithms.

I was able to solve both the coding questions and almost all the MCQs.

Now, we didn’t get the result back then and we thought that either they have not shortlisted anyone or they stopped their hiring process.

Suddenly, in April’23,  I got a mail from the recruiter herself that they have an opening in SDE summer intern and they want to know if I am available for the same. 

So, then after replying regarding my availability, I got a mail regarding my Technical Interview which was scheduled 5 days later.

2. Technical Interview Round (1 hr.)

This round was held on a Zoom call. The interviewer asked for my introduction and then introduces himself. Then he directly went to the coding questions which I have to code on a platform named Coderpad.

I was asked to tell the approach, code it, and dry run it on a test case given by the interviewer. I was able to do it in around 20-25 minutes (fumbled a bit at the start due to nervousness ).

Solved this question easily. Was asked a follow-up regarding a number of possible combinations of it. I guess I messed up a little on that. But the interviewer told its was fine.

Then he asked me if I had any questions for him and that’s how this round ends.

The next day, I got a mail regarding the Host Manager Round which was scheduled 2 days later.

3. Host Manager Round (45 mins.)

This round was also held on a Zoom call. The interviewer introduces himself and then asked for my introduction. After the introduction, he directly went into the projects that I mentioned and started questioning them. Questions were like why you did that, what tech stack you preferred, what improvements can you do, etc. I have mentioned a DBMS project and he asked me to tell me the schema of that, perform a SQL query, etc. 

After all of that, he asked what plans did I have for the next 2 semesters and basic HR questions. And hence, this round also ends.

I personally felt that I could do much better than what I performed in this round.

After a week or so, I got a rejection mail from the recruiter.
