Literally all the engineers at the company went through the same process. For all the bitching and complaining an interviewee does, there’s probably a hundred people who just went through the process and got hired.
Suck it up, it’s part of the job. If you can’t do it, you don’t belong. Simple as that.
- mdaniel 2y ago> who just went through the process and got hired. You say that as if there's The One True Interview Routine™ and it doesn't change from team to team, person to person, month to month. I actually would bet that no single organization interviews with the consistency you're describing, not even FAANG with their holier-than-thou grinders If it wasn't such a monster drain on human productivity, I think it'd be funny if there was "rolling interviews" where each new hire got to send prior hires though "the process" on the yearly anniversary of those prior hires
- acheron 2y agoThis is called “hazing”.

- maxnevermind 2y agoThat's actually a good point. I believe that BigTech these days look for conformists, not superstar SWEs. If you agree to waste your time on preparation to meaningless LeetCode style interview then you are one of them and ready to be a part of the company. I do believe that is actually one of the things that being tested by such an interview, it's not a proxy for IQ, it's a proxy for candidate's readiness to eat dull corporate BS and not complain about it.
- deadbabe 2y agoPeople would rather get paid $80k a year and be a non-conformist than get paid $200k a year to conform to the requirements of a job. Simple as that. Problem is those non-conformists keep applying to the $200k jobs expecting the $80k treatment.
