I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LinkedIn in Sept 2025
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn (No surprises there). A regular recruiter screen where the recruiter asked me to explain my experiences on a high level and explained the interview process.
Then, I had the technical screen, which is 2 parts:
1. DSA or ML coding
2. ML Fundamentals OR ML System Design.
I was asked a DSA question (with a math angle) and a System Design question. I passed this round and am waiting for the virtual on-site, which I am told is a 5-round, 60-minute each. I will update this experience when it's done.
