Neither does this famous guy [1]. All these interviews do is waste a lot of time and generate a lot of false negatives.
You can practice all you want to get better, but no one in the corporate world is saying "I need you to code bubble sort, and I need in the next 45 minutes" and then proceeds to stand over your shoulder the entire time.

- bootlooped 8y agoFor big companies that have a ton of applicants, the false-negative rate probably doesn't matter all that much. They need a quick way to narrow the field. As for wasting a lot of time, what more reliable method is there that takes less time than a leetcode-style problem? Surely there are more reliable methods, they probably don't take 30 minutes or less though.
