Not standard questions. Companies switch away from a problem as soon a it becomes known they use it. They want a problem the applicant has never seen before. And I'm saying, it's not because they are testing for intelligence -- they will help you through it if they like you -- it's because they want you to struggle with it. Which gives them the right to use their gut to decide.

That's not been my experience at all. Companies keep using the same problems that are on leetcode or some minor variant of it. More to the point, in many places companies don't assign problems, the interviewer has full leeway in doing that. They will keep using the same problem since they have a rubric for how people perform on it.

I have never worked at a FAANG, but people I know who do, and give interviews, tell me that questions get banned.

If that's the case eventually every leetcode question will be banned and the problem will have resolved itself.
