      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (New Delhi) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      The Hiring process was long, lasted over a month. I had an initial Hacker Rank coding round, followed by first round of interview, then second round and then final round which consisted of 4 rounds of interview. I had referred previous interview experiences on Glassdoor and that helped to prepare. The questions were mostly similar. I got a rejection mail after the first round but then again I got a call for second round. They never answer when we call back. That's what I felt very bad about it.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      First round was based on Networking. TCP/IP, ARP, DNS resolution, Sharding, Scaling, caching, server management concepts were covered.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Second round was scheduled only for Linux Memory management. Entire Memory management questions were asked. How it works, why is it required, Virtual memory, swap memory, swappiness and all.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Code review round they gave 3 codes and I had to find bugs. 1 was for storing backup, 2nd was parsing logs and 3rd one I don't remember.
      Answer question

      Question 4

      System design was okay. They gave situations and asked how to design system in that scenario. We were allowed to ask questions to check if we were in tbe right track.
      Answer question

      Question 5

      The last one was Troubleshooting There was an Apache server and we had tk debug jt. It had 500 and 400 errors. I wasn't able to solve any in this round.

      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Bengaluru) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      The process started with an online coding challenge. It had three coding questions around LeetCode medium level, one DBMS query, and around 20 MCQs involving Networks, DBMS, Linux, etc. Following that, there were two technical interviews and one host manager round. The first technical interview was a Service Architecture round where I was asked to scale a ride-hailing application to handle about 10000 requests/min. It was a 1.5 hour round. In the second interview, I was tested a lot on Data Structures, Networking, Linux administration, troubleshooting. Certain questions were very tough, like in what port do you attach your hard drive, but I guess they asked that to check our limits, and they weren't deciding questions. The last round was a Hiring Manager round close to a typical HR round, but I had certain technical questions about my projects.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Scale a ride-hailing application so that it handles ~10,000 requests/minute. This was a 1.5-hour-long discussion with follow-ups, including Consistent Hashing. They also challenged multiple of my design claims which I had to think about on the spot.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Questions on DNS, Linux Inodes, Message Queues, Processes, Fork and VFork, Kernel, Linux Boot Process, etc.
