I applied online. I interviewed at TikTok (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was very short; after the self-introduction, I was given a coding question. The question was: given the head of a linked list, find a value greater than its `val` for each `ListNode`, and if no value is found, decrement it by 1. Return a `vector`.
