Question Details
I just got out of an interview for a 2026 summer FAANG-level internship, and the interviewer hit me with a custom, mutant variation of a popular LeetCode Hard with a massive twist on it. I'd describe it as a LC superhard, since I had to solve the LC hard and then add the logic for this twist which was even harder. This was my second interview for this well-known company and was probably the conclusive interview. I know FAANG companies set a high bar, but come on. I’m sitting there, while this dude is just staring at me through the webcam, fully expecting me to casually invent a novel, perfect algorithm in 35 minutes while explaining my time and space complexity out loud. For a 12-week summer INTERNSHIP. I've done 100+ LC problems and I've done well in many technical interviews, but this takes the cake. I spent almost the entire time just talking through the solution and trying to verbalize my thought process to figure out the logic. By the time I actually wrapped my head around the twist, we ran out of time. I barely wrote any actual lines of code. Apparently now you need to be a competitive programming world champion just to get a chance to push minor bug fixes at a top tech company. Please tell me I’m not the only one getting completely and absolutely wrecked by these interviews lately. Is this just the new normal for FAANG and Big Tech now? Are they just doing this to filter people out because there are tens of thousands of applicants? It makes me think he wanted to purposefully fail candidates or something. :(
