Gave an onsite interview at linkedin 10 days before. Got a call back from them saying they are not moving forward with process, recruiter quoted :“ i was quite strong in some areas and weak in othersr”........ I know that, out of 2 coding rounds and 3 system design interviews, i think here is how it went: I nailed 2 coding rounds. I was awesome in 1 system design interview. managerial round also went well.. What dint go well was other 2 system design rounds, but cant they at least tell me what went wrong? Can someone from linkedin share how the decisions are made after interview? Like is there any rating/score maintained in some way? Is it like one interviewer says no, and you dont get a job? Do all rounds have some kinda minimum threshold? What system is it?
you really need to work on your communication skills
Edited description; let me know if this works and you have some insight!
“I can’t share any details about the feedback due to legal reasons” I was told when asked for more info after rejection.
Yeah same here. Except the one sentence i mentioned. Thats why I am curious, how does there decision making process work?
If you looking for jobs means it’s like horse riding. Never look back unless company come to you. Never regret about why it was failed
Thanks for advise! But if i get to understand their decision making process, i get to know what could have been wrong from my side. If i need to improve on something... if i am missing something... feedback loop can make the time spent on interview useful for me as well.
LinkedIn has a scoring rubrik for each module. If you are marked low on any module, you're usually done. Don't feel bad about it, even with stock questions and the rubrik,. It still depends on which people are judging you. Accuracy in hiring in general is a hard problem to solve.
Yeah.. not feeling bad about it; its just if i get to know from them the areas where i performed poorly, it makes thing easier for me.. specially about focusing on where to improve. After screwing up 2 interviews i wasnt hopeful anyways!
And at the same time if i get to know where i did well, that boosts my confidence as well.. so.. was just looking for info!
Uhh what? You're saying you had 3 system design rounds, 2 coding, and 1 managerial? When I went it was 1 managerial, 1 design, 1 whiteboard coding, and 1 live programming round. Each round is an hour, including lunch. Are you sure you got the number of rounds correct?
What is live programming?
They give you a laptop and you make something actually run vs whiteboarding.
