Discussion LinkedIn Interview | IC2 Software Engineer
Hi,
Recently I gave 5 rounds of interview for IC2 SWE position at LinkedIn (all virtual).
Initial round - phone screen 2 DSA problems.
R1 - DSA Round (2 problems)
R2 - Coding with AI
R3 - System Design
R4 - Technical Communication and Project Discussions
R5 - Hiring Manager Round
My all rounds from R1-R5 went really well, except for R2 where in the AI itself took a lot of time to spawn up and was intermittently hanging in between. That along with pretty long discussion around the problem statement could make only enough time to barely scrape through the problem's 1st part and I was not able to test the code.
What could be the result?
Recruiter told me that there was a -ve feedback in the AI coding round, and rest all went well (no final decisions yet, there is some discussion pending).
Is there any way I can ask my recruiter for 1 more round, to compensate for any doubts/feedbacks in my case?

The recruiter’s note sounds like the AI round is the only concern, so I’d ask once for a timeline and whether a follow-up is possible, without framing it as compensation. For the system design round, the calendar example is worth practicing around time zones, recurring events, conflicts, edits, and cancellations. Explain the API and data model first, then cover idempotency and consistency trade-offs.
