      Big Data Engineering Interview

      22 Feb 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Palo Alto, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Palo Alto, CA) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      There was a phone screen round followed by two technical interviews (back to back). The second of the technical interviews was strewn with logistical issues (mic not working, coderpad site crashing, network issues), and my interviewer had an extremely thick accent which required constant back-and-forth to clarify what he or I had previously said, cutting down problem solving time even further. The problems were not very hard and were extremely doable.
