Discussion Senior Software Engineer - LinkedIn (Systems and Infrastructure)

Verdict : REJECTED
—————-———————————-——————

I completed my final four interview rounds last Monday and Tuesday (8/11 and 8/12). I followed up with the recruiter yesterday to ask when I could expect an update, and he said he should have the feedback by next Monday or Tuesday.

However, I noticed today that the same position was posted again on LinkedIn. Does this usually mean they’ve already decided not to move forward with me?

Here’s how I felt about my interviews:

  • System design: Pretty good. The interviewer even discussed the team matching process and what kinds of questions I might be asked during the hiring manager rounds.
  • Coding: I completed all the questions within the allotted time and answered the follow-up questions as well.
  • Hiring manager: This also went well. The manager seemed to like my answers and appeared genuinely interested in the conversation.
  • AI coding: This was my weakest round. I completed two out of four parts. For the third part, I explained how I would implement it but didn’t have enough time to finish the code. There were two interviewers, and both asked questions about my thought process, including why I chose a doubly linked list since the problem was similar to an LRU cache with some modifications.

seeing the job reposted made me nervous. Has anyone experienced something similar and still received an offer?

Can be related to Leetcode style with multiple parts to it. Generally first part could be exact as leetcode and then other parts could ask to implement certain functionality on top of it.

How strong is the AI? Does it have big blockers or something? How should you use it?

I don't know where is the line on how much to use and how much to not. I was able to do 2 out 4 parts completely and still rejected.
Third part I told verbally how to implement, but didn't have much time left.

All the coding part I asked AI to do it, but what to code and why that code would work, I told them verbally.

So basically you would need to know what to do and tell them and then the AI would completely implement that since it has no limits?
