I recently stumbled upon an interviewer that asks "what will happen to this algorithm if I delete these 2 lines of code?" (the interviewee is the author) and deletes happen on simple if-else condition that maintains useful invariants and the interviewer said it eliminates most candidates.
I guess that's how memorization works.

- _dark_matter_ 3y agoThis happened to me for meta. Saw the qs on Glassdoor, memorized, and passed with flying colors. Did not take the job. I was astounded that they asked the same question, word for word.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 3y agoYeah its appalling the general software engineering population doesnt know this yet
- Der_Einzige 3y agoMost of them cheated, they didn’t actually memorize all that leetcode. Ive personally witnessed candidates at my own university successfully cheat on FAANg interviews which later landed them successful jobs/internehips

- stale2002 3y agoIn person interviews aren't a thing anymore. Instead it is all "virtual onsite". There are lots of ways to cheat in those contexts. The most obvious way that is close to undetectable would be having a second person looking up the answers, and telling them to the candidate, while the interview is happening.
