Recently, attended a phone interview for the Software Eng. position for LinkedIn. The initial process was smooth with 2 phone rounds 1 hr each. First round was on deep dive to projects and cultural fit, and second round was a coding along with some project specific technical questions.

I could'nt get through :) though, but overall it was a good experience.

Round 1

• 5 mins talk about yourself
• Challenges and most complex problem solved
• Conflict resloution with team members
• What is changed from your previous role to the senior role - roles & responsiblities
• Most difficult situation you handled and what you learnt
• Roles and responsiblities of junior v/s senior
• How to mentor junior team member
• How to solve tools duplication problem accross teams
• Technology choice questions on project like why , what and other possible choices available

Round 2

• 25 mins talk on project background, technology etc

• 30 mins coding ( 1 Question)

/*

• A graph can be said to be 'two-colorable' if each vertex in the graph can be assigned a color such that no two adjacent
• vertices in the graph are assigned the same color.
• Returns true if the graph containing startNode can be colored with only two colors, and false otherwise
• The graph containing startNode can be assumed to be uncolored (getColor() returning null for all GraphNodes)
• in its initial state, and undirected (if a GraphNode A has B in its neighbor set, then B has A in its neighbor set)
