      Software Engineering Intern Interview

      Dec 3, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Mountain View, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2013

      Interview

      I applied at my university's career fair. I got a call from the recruiter about two months later and we set up a call to talk about my interests. My first round interview was on the phone using collabedit, and was technical. I was asked to program a function that analyzed sets and sets within those sets. I solved it with a BFS/DFS variant. Though I felt I answered the questions correctly, I knew that I was a little nervous and was unsure if I'd make it to the next round. Just a couple business days later, I got a call notifying me that I would be interviewing in the final round. I got to choose the teams with which I interviewed. Each of the two final round interviews was technical, but the third phone call was casual. One technical question was a greedy interval scheduling problem, and the other was a binary search variant. I was also asked really specific questions about a data structure, but was not expected to know it all. The conversations went really well and just two days later I got a call with the offer. Overall, none of the questions were easy, but nor were they extremely difficult. If you know your data structures and did well in your algorithms course, you will be prepared.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      Very nice process with an OA, phone screen and then Technical/Behavioral Final Round. Genuinely enjoyed the process and met some great people that lead me to take the offer. Just make sure you have knowledge of your projects and can show your impact. Also simple DSA will get you through the interviews, hardest part is just getting the interview, lmao.

      Why did you design [specific part of project] this way, and what difficulties did you have when implementing it?
