      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      27 Jan 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Dec 2013

      Interview

      [Phone screens] Linkedin recruiting team reached out to me on Linkedin. They talked to me about what candidate they were looking for and explained to me in details the recruiting process. Then their recruiting coordinator quickly set up two phone screens. I enjoyed those two chats with data science lead and manager, who are very professional. They asked excellent technique and behavior questions that are closely relevant to the real data scientist job on a day to day base. Meanwhile, they are very friendly and they patiently answered all my questions regarding the potential role, work style, and team culture. [Onsite] Only a few days after the phone screens I was told I would be invited to an onsite. Once again they quickly set up the onsite and the traveling. I think the onsite was very well organized and it gave me a perfect opportunity to learn what my job would look like. It is really easy to tell that everyone I talked to are very smart and really know the stuff they are talking/asking. And I can tell they did their research on my background and asked great questions to best know me and assess my specialties. That really makes a difference and makes me feel that I am respected as a candidate. During the day, the hiring manager had been checking with me during the breaks to make sure that I had time to grab water and go to the bathroom, and that helped me a lot shaking off the stress and focusing on the interview itself. (BTW, the lunch was very enjoyable, and the cafe is the best.) By the end of the day, when I met my recruiters, they walked me through how the business is running and what is the battle plan for the next year. What they did really impressed me. I would highly recommend adding the 'mini business review' to every onsite because it provides huge amount of valuable info to the candidate. [Offer] The hiring manager is extremely helpful and he spent time talking to me on every questions/concerns I have. And I undoubtedly say that he is the best hiring manager I ever met. The recruiting team always respond promptly. The recruiting team leader did an exceptional job pushing forward the offer processing and understanding my concerns. Everyone is so helpful that it feels like talking to friends. [Overall] I really enjoyed the entire process from the very beginning. The data science and recruiting team delivered the best job-seeking experience to me.

      Senior Data Scientist Interview

      10 Mar 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn

      Interview

      I applied online, got contacted for a 30-min HR screen call, then proceeded to a 1-hour Technical screen round. All the interviewers are very nice and professional. I did not pass the Technical round, because the role has much higher technical requirements than my skillsets. Technical screen includes 50% Python coding a Leetcode medium problem, 25% stats/experiment questions, 25% general ML questions. HR followed up with results in a personalized email and encouraged to reapply in the future.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at LinkedIn (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      Very clear and straight forward, but maybe a bit too broad. Would be better to be more focused on the area of expertise. Coding questions don't really make much sense for data scientists anymore, basic level yes but not hard coding questions.
