big banks use them for filtering too, even contracting. And there are also some small companies that use them for some reason, probably the tech lead learned that from a big firm they worked in.
- erklik 5y agoYeah. I think there's a lot of startups who are sort of emulating the FAANGs because it is "norm". I personally think that's good because I'd rather have everyone have a similar process than have very different processes across companies. Makes it much easier to interview and prepare for one.
- nsonha 5y agoI'd rather they interview real skills used on the job, and since it's already what I do day to day, I don't need to prepare. With small companies leetcode is a waste of time because they don't have time to do rounds and rounds of interview like big tech, so using leetcode for 1 round mean they only have another 1 or even no round left for the real stuff, system design and the like. An example of good tech interview at a company (not in Australia) I interviewed recently, is a take home test that encompasses doing 1 or more PRs to fix issues, code reviewing someone else's PR, and document a simple security audit.
