Doesn’t help that it’s extremely easy for new grads to cheat on their interview. The new grad hiring process has been such that you only need to solve an online assessment. If you do very well(all tests pass and it’s optimized) and then you do a 30 min. interview to explain the code you wrote. Copying solutions, changing variable names and just reading the code in the 30 min interview has anecdotally worked for several people.
