LinkedIn Software Engineer interview experience

The first one was the “find the celebrity” style question, and the second was a “max consecutive” type problem.

Even though it was only a phone screen, the structure felt like they wanted to see how I handled switching between problem types after a short warm-up. I had to organize my thinking clearly for each question, not just give a final answer. By the time the call ended, I felt like I had demonstrated I could work through typical coding interview patterns under time pressure.
