leetcode is the StackOverflow for interviews. If all you do is copy paste the problem, you end up with a bad interview process. If instead you use the problem as a base, understand what signals it is trying to test for, and change it to implement your specific needs, you have a much better shot of gauging the right skills. Of course, that requires putting time into designing an interview pipeline full of things like rubrics, bias training, and sometimes realizing that leetcode questions don’t evaluate for the skills you need. Most companies aren’t willing to invest time into this and prefer to just copy <big co X> which is why you hear so many bad stories with what sounds like the exact same interviewers.
