I was referring to SWE roles, as is this article I believe.

  They aren't technically SWEs but they would be at any other company. I have been a SWE at three other FAANGs

    > I have been a SWE at three other FAANGs Good for you. Now seriously I'm not sure what you're arguing for - you're saying FAANGS don't do Leetcode style questions? I get it that YOU don't do it to candidates in those roles, but the reality is for SWE roles this is how it is. People who aren't very good in Leetcode will not succeed. There's hundreds, maybe thousands of candidates for these roles and some of them can do the Leetcode thing - they are the ones who get hired. I'm not advocating for this method because I'm not particularly good at it or like solving these things on my spare time, nor do I think this method is particularly useful - but that's reality.

      I know Google has some tech support engineering roles where they ask such simple questions to candidates. They aren't software engineers and generally don' get to contribute to the main codebase, but they help customers fix problems with how they use Google API's etc so they need to know a bit about how to code.
