Mountain View, CAPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with a recruiter call, and then it moved quickly into an OA followed by two interviews back-to-back: a behavioral session right after a technical one.

The overall vibe was pretty relaxed compared with what I’d heard about LinkedIn loops.

On the technical side, I had two LeetCode-style medium problems. What stood out was that after I solved them, I was asked to dry-run my code and then answer follow-up questions to show I really understood the edge cases and behavior.

I felt like I communicated well and didn’t get stuck in the moment as badly as I expected, and the experience ended with me getting an offer.
