I'm astounded that FAANGs would want people who had already done a major, intensive leetcode interview to get in the door and had been working for 2-3 years would be asked to do another similarly-intense interview. I've commented on this before, but it seems as if there's not much trust or standardization in interview processes across the top of the industry. If there were, they wouldn't be asking engineers to grind leetcode again a few years later after already proving their mettle.

- decafninja 5y agoI believe the original intention of the leetcode interview is to let the employer gauge the thought processes, communication style, and problem solving approach of the candidate, more so than strictly the candidate's ability to get the absolute hyperoptimal solution. But it has been corrupted. Demonstrating your thought processes, communication style, and problem solving approach is still a factor. But being able to quickly get the hyperoptimal solution in 20 minutes usually trumps everything else and often becomes the single make-or-break factor.
