The suit will follow to all copy cat like companies like fb, Amazon will stop asking it too and it will help people with personal lives and families not grind leetcode if they want to work for you. #banLeetCodeInterviews
I bet my life savings that Mr.Pichai is not on this app.
Hand over those life savings fellow.
How do you think Sundar makes top TC without LC?
I thought google dont ask leetcode questions
They said they're moving away from it. But in January I had an onsite and one question was verbatim leetcode question from a while back. So I'd assume they're making their own questions, but because devs can ask any question some may be stale leetcode questions.
My onsite a dude asked ‘build me an interesting maze’, so basically he expected me to have memorized Prims or Kruskell’s algorithms. Thats somehow worse than a leetcode problem lol Custom made up problems are almost always worse imo
Yes, leetcode problems are too easy, we should go with codeforces div1 problems only.
Why do you want to work for fb or Amazon ?
$$$
It’s actually not that much money, I only make 400k a year
Can you propose an alternative interview style? One that does not require way too much time (like take homes).
Pair programming questions that can be formulated to scale up where interviewee leads but still works with interviewer. Get a better read on how they work with ppl and equal amount of coding skills. Allow documentation, no stack overflow, judge how they use documentation....
What's wrong with stack overflow in this case? I'm not gonna remember regex formula or dinner other specific library, I mean assuming the interview is not just LC DSA but it's solving some real life problem
😂
Lol. This is not twitter. Even if it trends here. Nobody is going to give a fuck.
Mr. Pichai would not give a fuck on twitter also.
I don't understand folks here. Folks are okay grinding weeks if not months for the job, but a take home that takes some hours over the weekend is apparently too much time to invest for a job?
Because take homes are harder for leetcode monkeys who can memorize leetcode and regurgitate during the interviews. They would fail badly in the take homes.
Take home assignments are specific to each company. You can spend 6 hours on it and the company could ding you because you haven't used their favorite framework or whatever. It's all wasted time then. Algo questions are fine because they teach transferrable skills. You can interview with company A and B and Z. All of your practice will help with each of those companies
Who cares about what amazon asks?
Usually what Amazon, Google, Facebook etc. has some interview procedure other companies copy and use it. There's some exceptions like Netflix and Dropbox, but for the most part companies just jump on the leetcode band wagon and then justify it by saying successful/large companies use the interviewing tactic.
Um, leetcode copies from Google interview questions. Other way...
U really think highly of Google huh?
It is very true through. Ever heard of google code jam? 🙄
