What interview questions does LinkedIn ask?

Candidates have reported 82 questions from LinkedIn interviews to TrueInterview: 43 algorithm, 20 object-oriented programming, 16 system design and 2 sql. Each one is filed under the round it came up in, with the month it was reported where a candidate gave one, and opens in the workspace that format calls for — an editor judged against hidden tests for coding and SQL, a whiteboard for system design.

How recent are these LinkedIn interview questions?

The most recent LinkedIn question on this page was reported in September 2026. A question shows the month a candidate reported it whenever that is known, so an entry that has gone stale is visible as one rather than presented as current.

Which LinkedIn interview rounds do these questions come from?

The reported LinkedIn questions on this page are filed under 3 rounds: Online Assessment, Phone Screen and Onsite. Filtering by a round gives you the questions candidates were asked at that stage rather than the whole bank at once.

How hard are LinkedIn's interview questions?

Of the 82 rated LinkedIn questions on this page, the spread is 7 easy, 56 medium and 19 hard. Difficulty is the rating on the question itself, not a prediction of how a particular loop will go.

Where do these LinkedIn interview questions come from?

From candidates who sat the interview. Some post the whole loop on the public interview experiences board; the rest are reports we verify and file by company, format and round. Nothing covered by an NDA is accepted, and the sourcing rules are published in full at /methodology.

Has anyone written up their LinkedIn interview?

Yes — 52 candidates have published an account of a LinkedIn loop, covering the rounds they sat, what they were asked and how it ended. Each write-up has its own page and links to the questions it mentions.

Is there a guide to the LinkedIn interview process?

There are 5 guides filed under LinkedIn on this page, written round by round: what each stage covers, what it is assessing, and what to practise before it.

Do I need an account to practise LinkedIn questions?

Browsing this page needs no account, and 8 of the 82 LinkedIn questions listed here open in full for free. The rest are part of a paid plan, and every row says which it is before you click it.
