Personally, if Im hiring junior engineers, and they have the ability to use LLM to solve the problem and explain it, I see no problem with that. When I worked for Amazon knowing the kind of development that happens someone who is able to code with an assistant could do the necessary work faster than someone who codes without it. This is the same type of test as the takehome tests that a lot of companies give, where you can use google or stack overflow previously to do research. If I was hiring for my own project and needed people that can problem solve, I would be asking more involved questions that LLMs could not solve, because LLMS will give you just the standard most commonly used solution. For example an analogy to another industry, LLMs can't tell you how to design a mountain bike correctly at a level of detail that matters, because there is no guide online that tells you how to do this.
