But every company in FAANGMO does use the same (or at least pretty similar) hiring process.
- carabiner 6y agoYep. And there are zero large, successful tech companies hiring SWE's with anything other than Leetcode-style interviews. Hiring is doing just fine.
- mcqueenjordan 6y agoThis isn't true, depending on your definition of large. For example, Stripe is known to have an engineering interviewing process that diverges from the typical leetcode-style questions. I think hiring is "doing just fine" and there's room for order-of-mag improvements on precision/recall.
- goostavos 6y agoJust because it's widely used doesn't mean it's good. Source: they let me interview people at one of those fancy FAANGMO places (and I don't actually know what I'm doing). Interview success comes down to how lucky you get in the loop imo.
