Entrevista
Went onsite for 5 interviews plus lunch. Most of the interviewers were nice. I thought I did quite well and was able to solve the questions without much issues, but looks like some of the interviewers didn't give good enough feedback

Entrevista
A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn in. After talking about the team and the hiring process, scheduled a technical phone screen. There were 2 software engineers on the call. Started off with a problem. I started explaining the way I was planning to solve that. They asked about why I chose a certain data structure and the approach. After explaining the reasoning I started off coding in a shared screen. Every single line I typed up, they interrupted and nitpicked on the syntax ( like you are missing an operator in the for loop) and as I fixed and continued they would ask me why was I doing it a certain way and ask about data structure used. They were constantly interrupting the entire time I was typing a line. I was struggling to think with these rapid fire questions. Finally, as we were nearing the end of our session we agreed to stop and they informed that my approach was correct, but the code needed to be fixed for it to work. I hope this kind of constant interruption when someone is coding during an interview is not a norm for linked in. At one point I had to request them to wait for me to complete typing a line before they could ask me another question !
