I wouldn't bother with this one. Typical wannabe Facebook/Google/etc interview process without actually understanding the point of those companies' interview processes.

You'll get a leetcode/coderbyte question. It doesn't matter if you completely understand the problem, explain the process completely, answer any/all considerations (optimizations, trade-offs, etc), and come to a functional solution; you'll fail unless it's the exact perfectly optimized solution they expected (in 30-40mins, with someone watching over your shoulder).

Basically, a targeted hiring pipeline for people that rote memorize/practice leetcode problems. Not actual engineers.
