Hopefully someone better than me can answer...

But for what I read on HN, leetcode it's just a filter to get in like having harvard or stanford in your resume is too...

Once you pass the filters, however you do, I say there are much more important stuff to know than leetcode that can predit how well you will do... Also in any big company the size of those, it's literally a gamble as in the team you'll be working with will be the most important thing affecting you, besides salary or whatever... So you've a lot of variance on success on those big shops.

I've never tried/had a leetcode interview tbh, 4-8h take-home code challenges (in frontend positions I apply) are more abundant in my experience. But I'm not in the US so who knows...
