It has always been more about the application of facts or knowledge than the retrieval of facts that makes for a really good interview.
It’s better to know when to use a Linked list than how to make one (because I’d just use the one in the library).
So the candidate can prompt well good. But how much of the knowledge can they apply to a problem or are they just masters of hacker rank (sic).
But more often than not most interviewers are lazy and just use canned hacker rank style questions or if it’s not laziness it’s being too overworked to craft a really good interview.
