I have onsites coming up in several weeks for Google and Facebook. For Google, is it worth going through Google's most frequent questions on Leetcode? I've heard LC is banned at Google, however the question I got from my phone screen came from a top Google question on LC so I'm confused.. If Google LC isn't the best way to practice, I'd rather just spent my time doing the FB questions on LC.. Also, I'm hearing conflicting things. Is there a system design round for Google? (L4). I have almost 4 YOE EDIT: TC 240k
You shouldn't really worry about that. LC is a way to learn different types of algorithms. Both FB and Google LC have good collections for you to understand different algorithms. . You shouldn't be expecting to get the exact same questions during an interview. And NO Google L4 does not have system design interview.
L4 can have system design there are two different tracks.
It's impossible to ban every question. Even if they're banned, it doesn't mean interviewers do a full thorough check on the ban before asking their questions. I've looked up many of my friends questions to see that they're on leetcode and see that other people were asked the same question. However, many people report google has the highest occurrence of questions that they cant find on leetcode so don't rely on it.
Learn the algorithms, not the questions. For example, coin change problem can become drug exchange problem but the algorithm stays the same
Two side of the same coin ๐
There is no automatic blanket ban on questions that come from LC. Just guidance that you shouldnโt use it as your question source. As it is discovered that any individual question came from LC, it is banned directly.
Good for you G
Why did you answer without opโs TC info? Are you new to blind? Blind is sharing n caring. Doesnโt work one way
As for the system design question... If you are being considered for possible L5 bump then there will be. If they are interviewing for max L4 then probably not but you should talk to your recruiter.
Iโm not interested in pointless toxic crap.
Awesome! A company that takes hiring process seriously will benefit in long run. No wonder Google is the best.
Do people never take mock exams??? Why does it matter if itโs not banned or not. You still do them to exercise and not expecting the exact same question in the interview.

Leetcode is losing it's core principles.

Women, help me understand why this is inspirational
Sometimes it takes a while to ban it. I would still go through it because the questions might be similar. Good luck!
Did you seriously post this on every single comment and then like it yourself? How desperate are you for validation?
