alt Hacker NewsA friend recently got through Google after getting interviewed in Meta and several other companies. He said interview styles are changing in most places but there is no common pattern. Every company is taking their own custom approach. Some are giving open access to AI IDE, some are asking to not ask everything and monitoring what you ask. One company give access to LLM (probably custom) that would provide wrong code intentionally and candidate has to correct it.

How ‘wrong’ are we talking? Like the code is correct, but slow? Fails easy-to-spot edge cases? Uses poor taste in variables names?
This is probably genius and also hilarious!
