Most companies still run these rounds. AI is generally banned during them, though some places are experimenting with allowing it. They want to see your foundational knowledge, not what a copilot can write.
- nsxwolf 21d agoI’ve never seen Leetcode test foundational knowledge. There are far better ways to do that than timed puzzles.
- karmakurtisaani 21d agoThis used to be a pretty standard discussion a few years back when people still were being hired. I never saw any better way to systematically and somewhat fairly test a large number of candidates, so would you kindly elaborate on that statement?
- nsxwolf 21d agoThis always reads like an admission - “Well of course it’s bad, but how else am I supposed to interview at mass scale?” Why would you test a large number of candidates in the first place?
- karmakurtisaani 21d agoIn a way it is this admission. Interviewing is a very difficult process to get right. > Why would you test a large number of candidates in the first place? How else do you do it for a company of the size of Google or Amazon?

- jst1fthsdys 21d agoThe timed aspect is pretty discriminatory too. God forbid you have ADHD or anxiety.
