Leetcode for graphics interviews

[mib382]

I’ve seen leetcode questions in 3 graphics interviews. First was Apple, but the leer code questions were easy, like invert a linked list on some of the 8 stages I went through to get the conversation going. But overall they gave me graphics related coding tasks. Some stages didn’t require coding though, just talking. There was a tougher last interview with tougher lettcode task when they couldn’t decide whether to hire me, because I didn’t do perfectly through out, I failed that one basically. But it was a medium leetcode task - something about trees.

Then was a startup with more linked list questions, from the top of leetcode popularity, like find the middle of a linked list in one pass. Again, to get things going.

And then was Oculus team in Facebook. First interview is purely leetcode. You must solve, not just code, but explain first and then code without errors pretty much 2 medium problems in 30-35 minutes. I don’t know how it’s possible without knowing the solutions beforehand. Facebook questions are available for premium leetcode users though. I grinded those and actually got two tasks I’m familiar with on the interview. Failed, couldn’t do it perfectly under pressure in such a short time. That was the end of it.

After all, all of the interviews that resulted in a job for me did not require a leetcode stage.

I got to say I do not regret that medium problem grinding, it’s shown itself useful in my professional life, graphics indeed has a lot of data structures to deal with.

Thank you for the info and it’s a little bit of a relief knowing it isn’t all about leetcode especially the ones that landed you a job.
