Curious if any FAANG employees know if this kind of thing is still standard above a certain level, or does say "staff" level and above tend to be internal promotions only?

I guess the pay is phenomenal but I have a hard time imagining that this kind of algorithmic trivia approach makes any sense at all for hiring into senior roles. Especially if someone was trying to move laterally between FAANGs.

Google, at least, does the same style of interview for Senior and Staff positions as they do for entry level. It's just that the expectations are obviously different.

This is dumbfounding. Kinda tells you what kind of shit-eating devs they're looking for. What staff-level engineer possessing even a modicum of self respect would willingly subject themselves to this?

Probably a highly talented one who's interested in earning $500k / year.
