Interview
After having a brief discussion with the recruiter (who was pretty good) I ended up getting a phone interview almost immediately. Not to my surprise an extremely inexperienced guy was my interviewer( i had read in previous posts about this problem with LinkedIn). The interviewer seemed least interested in taking the interview. I feel at a loss of having missed this opportunity. I would highly suggest LinkedIn to either have an experienced developer take the interview or atleast a senior guy who has actually worked in the field for a number of years and know how things work when it actually comes to "working" and "performing" the real world tasks other than searching something in a Binary Tree or linked list.
I hope this is not the case but it seems- like young grads are rather insecure of their own job and are not letting good talent bypass them. Sad but true.

Interview
Fluffy talk from recruiter. Kind of awkward phone screen with two very junior people who really did not know how to make me feel at ease. Anyway I think I did just fine but then a week later heard that the "interview committee" decided to not go further. I guess I did not tick the right boxes or was not as fast a code monkey as they expected me to be.

Interview
After phone conversation with recruiter, I had phone interview in following week. Interviewer called me on time. But I was given the wrong interviewer. First he went through my experience. and then gave two coding problems. I felt he did not prepare for his interview problems well. We spent lots of time on the time complexity. Also it seems that he wanted the answer he wanted, and not realized there are several solutions.
