Linkedin | Staff Data Engineer | India

Status: Tier 2 Btech
Position: Staff Engineer at a product company
Location: India
Date: January, 2024

Technical phone screen (1 hour):
House robber-2 + bunch of simple sql questions

Onsite (6 rounds):
R1 (SQL + python coding)
2 questions. You need to come up with SQL solution for both and then code the equivalent python solution.

R2: Manager round
Bunch of behavioral questions like any other company. The manager seemed to be over confident and called me a liar in the middle of the interview. Now, linkedin is a great company and talented folks work there. But with your designation, you should also bring some class. Just because an interviewee is at a weaker position during interviews doesnt mean you can talk to them like trash. Only trashy people with high designation talk to people like this.

R3: Design round

Build a data pipeline
Design a K/V store

R4: Design round
Design experimentation platform. Build data pipeline for the platform.

R5: Coding round
Binary tree serialize/deserialize

R6: Statistics round
2 questions related to statistics.

Bombed 3 of the 6 interviews and so rejected.

Verdict: Reject
