That's obviously not true....
> Most companies require interviewers to pick a question from their internal 'question bank'
Again, having worked at some fairly big and respected companies, this has never been the case.
I'm not interviewing for rote candidates. Everyone is different. Ergo, the questions are different. I could never imagine hiring senior developers and security engineers with questions from a "question bank".
If you're just doing boilerplate, you're probably getting very sub-par employees.
Please take a look at these. I recently interviewed at FB and I got 2 questions in phone screen that were from leetcode with FB tag.
> Everyone is different. Ergo, the questions are different.
Facebook is running interview factory, they just don't have time to customize interview for each candidate. Their own recruiter told me to practise questions from leetcode tagged with facebook.
I agree with you re your reasons for not using a 'question bank' but thats just not the realty.
