Mountain View, CAPosted Dec 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a super technical interview that was heavily centered on ML fundamentals and included LeetCode-style coding questions.

The interview felt very demanding overall, with the mathy/ML side and the algorithmic side both treated as essential rather than secondary.

Even though the exact topics weren’t itemized beyond the general focus, I distinctly remember getting the sense that they wanted strong competence across ML fundamentals and common coding patterns. I didn’t move forward, and the difficulty level left me feeling like I was competing in the deep end.
