IMO leetcode has multiple problems.

1. People can be hired to take the test for you - surprise surprise 2. It is akin to deciding if someone can write a novel from reading a single sentence.

Hiring people for the test is only valid for online assessment. For an onsite, its very obvious if the candidates have cheated on the OA. I've been on the other side and its transparent.

For most decent companies, the hiring process involves multiple rounds of these challenges along with system designs. So its like judging writing ability by having candidates actually write and come up with sample plots. Not a bad test.
