I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Sunnyvale, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
First two calls from linkedin recruiter and a 1 hour tech interview on collabedit. Was very responsive. Interview processes was good. Work on your algorithm, programming and javascript.

Question 1
first question, whats event bubbling, what get and post. Then code JavaScript palindrome algorithm, then optimize. Then he should me a sample JavaScript and to predict what would happen.
Interviewed for an SDE role. The process was well-organized and the recruiters were responsive throughout. That said, the technical rounds were significantly more challenging than expected — definitely come prepared to go deep. Overall a valuable experience regardless of the outcome.
That was a real stroke of luck — when I got to the coding round and encountered a question on finding the maximum subarray sum, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com a few days earlier. The interview kicked off with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical phone interview. It was intense, especially with the focus on algorithms and data structures. I also faced some behavioral questions that challenged my experience. After a final onsite round, I received an offer and happily accepted. Overall, it was tough but rewarding.

Question 1
Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum. Walk through Kadane's algorithm and explain the O(n) approach.
Overall, a good interview process and the team were very friendly during the interview process and it was very good and pleasant. Nothing in regard to negative feedback or anything as such like that.
