Facebook recruiter (and people I know who worked there) literally tell you to buy and study “cracking the coding interview.” I did buy the book but I’ve never moved forward with the interview because I really didn’t like to commute south when did it for a year and I like pairing too much.

- tom_mellior 9y agoWhen I was contacted by a Google recruiter a while ago, he also sent me a PDF copy of Cracking the Coding Interview and said I should use it to prepare. The actual questions I got at the interview were nothing like what was in the book. They weren't questions like "how does algorithm X work?" but "how would you model/implement as system that does X?". So, shrug. My one data point says that this book is a mostly useless distraction.
