I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Feb 2020
Interview
The overall process was very seamless. It consisted of -
- 1 HackerRank round
- 1 call with the recruiter
- 2 Telephonic Interviews
- Team Matching
Prepare well as LinkedIn offers one of the best internship programs in the industry. I would say LinkedIn leetcode high-frequency questions and cracking the coding interview will be good practice for the interviews.
