yeah, and some very competent people have no time or interest in timed coding tests and know that great software is not built that way.
if you have been through a CS program you have worked on probably at least 10 projects. and then there are your personal projects. if you have any experience you can talk about at least some of these apart from the stuff under NDA.
so, this approach is much better than timed coding interviews and is a much more fair system as it rewards and takes into account experience.
the same goes for leetcode interviews. the key difference is that you don’t need to prepare to talk about your own projects. or at least much less. and you are probably working on stuff after hours anyway.
