Cons
- Limited to 45+ practice questions—fewer problems than some competitors like LeetCode which offer thousands, potentially requiring supplementation for extensive practice
- Primarily focused on coding and algorithm questions with less depth in system design, behavioral interviews, and other non-coding interview components
- Paid full course required for complete access—while free weekly problems and the email course are available, the comprehensive question set and solutions require purchase
- May not cover every niche company or role-specific interview format—best suited for general software engineering roles at major tech companies rather than specialized positions
