I do a lot of interviewing and have never liked the Leetcode-style interviews favored by some of the big companies. I feel like they favor a certain type of person who can memorize a bunch of solutions where they should be looking at general problem solving and flexibility.

If you ever start interviewing candidates yourself you will see why - a non-zero percentage of applicants are very poor programmers, even those that claim years of experience.
