Is this referring to homebrew?
On the one hand i get it, but on the other hand reversing a binary tree isn’t some crazy leetcode grind. Most people can figure it out in a few mins and i think its fair to reject someone who can’t
It's not one instance. Most people who have this happen to them don't tweet about it. Every instance could have a "well, you should have ______ better" stapled to it.
I don't think is apple/google. This sounds like the kind of thing small companies do. I would be very surprised if that was FAANG
I am not a fan of leetcode interviews myself, but I don't think the FAANG process is that bad. I am interested in any specific examples of authors of projects being rejected from big-tech companies for a role where they would work on their own thing
I disagree with it being fair to reject someone who can’t reverse a binary tree. I’ve never had to do it in my 16 year career and it’s easily learned. You could literally teach someone in a few minutes.
