Yes. Communication is the biggest hurdle in any collaboration. I have not been part of multi stage interview process, so I don't know all problems there.
But my point was more that if you find leetcode hard-to-impossible on difficulty scale, it probably means you are self taught and didn't bother with data structures and algorithms lecture/book/video/course.
Again probably bad communication on my part.
Our interviews is slightly modified fizz buzz. What we are looking for is basic programming skills and ability to test your code. For take home also basic git usage.
The material’s not the hard part. You can just study that.
It’s the social environment and performance, often sustained for hours, that’s entirely unlike anything else I do. It’s not like emergencies (great at those), it’s not like being in a meeting with a hostile client (good at that), it’s not like any socially-difficult thing I do in work or life outside of it, and it’s certainly not like normal collaboration. Programming while being watched and judged is horrible and energy-sapping in its own special way.
