An Algorithm for Passing Programming Interviews (2020)
One thing that I have noticed that FAANG doesn’t do well is: help people with sleep issues.<p>It’s not their job [0], but I do think there are some talented insomniacs that are great employees (given that they can mostly work on their own schedule, except for meetings). I remember that I interviewed for Facebook and I was so sleep deprived, I could barely write a for-loop. Ironically, I passed that interview but I couldn’t pass others that required some more creative thinking or more memorization.<p>[0] While it is not their job, FAANG companies do mention that they are accommodating candidates with mental health issues, and I’d argue that insomnia (diagnosed or undiagnosed) should be one of them.
