Doesn't seem like they leaked any real names going by what the other comments are saying. Seems like the dev for the landing page just used some random offers they found off the internet for that part (which is obviously way better than using real user data).

Actually its worse, those are all offer letters scraped from the internet. So Interview Coder is blatantly lying: Apple (2017) - https://www.scribd.com/document/500958913/offer-1 Amazon - https://www.scribd.com/document/819970502/672915686-Amazon-O... Microsoft - https://www.scribd.com/document/786362890/Arjun-Chakraborty-...

They are lying. Most of the "candidates" have Indian names, and the companies are Indian branches too. And they are getting $175K/yr there?! The hell.

The extent people go with cheating interviews. What happens after you pass by cheating? The reason they have rigorous interview is because the company moves at a different phase. You can not survive there if you cheat.

This isn't easy to prove, but the sentiment in our field for a very long time is that the interviews are frequently the hardest part of the job.

Dishonesty layered on dishonesty, marketed with an arrogant smirk on top. I feel like tech culture has fully internalized the ethos of "no attention is bad attention", so having a lack of scruples and a talent for rage baiting is now seen as an advantage. It might pay off well for some people in the short term, but it's not a sustainable way to run a society.

This feels like the whole world right now.
