Which strengthens my point.

Either your org was way too picky, or your hiring pipeline was absolutely awful.

There's no real reason to interview 100 people and only hire 0-2 of them.

I wanted more people to be approved.

But I didn't make the rules, I just worked there.

so only 1 out of 50 people can solve a leetcode medium?

In my experience, FAANG leetcode questions are generally pretty easy. Once in a while, one of the interviewers just tries to flex on the interviewee and just throw out a trick question that may be easy in the right mindset, but not really a good question.

I’ll call out Google specifically for this. They seemed to just make up their own questions. Difficultly ranged from basic coding to a math brain teaser with a lot of easy graph questions in between.

For context: this was last November.

Edit: lost the point in my rant - 2% approval is probably the result of flexing.
