FAANG and Flipkart ML interviews now demand Codeforces 2400+ optimal-solution puzzles
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-11-04
Two accounts of brutal AI hiring screens: a Flipkart AI engineer OA included a DSA round with a question rated 2500+ on Codeforces — implying candidates need the full AI engineer stack (modeling, pipelines, evals, testing, scaling) plus Master-level competitive programming. Another poster describes a FAANG ML research interview asking 1900/2000-rated questions demanding the optimal solution, not brute force. Both question whether this is reasonable.
