Features
LeetCode offers both free and premium access options. While free users have access to a limited number of questions, premium users gain access to additional questions previously used in interviews at large tech companies.[1] The performance of users' solutions is evaluated based on response speed and solution efficiency, and is ranked against other submissions in the LeetCode database.[6]
LeetCode supports multiple programming languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, and C.[7] The platform features forums where users can engage in discussions related to challenging problems, the interview process, and share their interview experiences.[4]
History
LeetCode was founded in Silicon Valley.[8]
LeetCode expanded its operations to China in 2018.[9] In 2021, LeetCode secured its first round of funding, receiving a $10 million investment from Lightspeed China Partners.[9]

To gear up for the assessments, many students practice their skills on LeetCode, a free test prep site that offers coding and algorithmic problems, along with detailed solutions. The site also offers premium services. For $35 a month, it gives members access to specific problems that companies like Amazon, Google and Microsoft previously used — and some continue to use — to assess applicants. To keep the questions up-to-date, the test prep service said, it regularly surveys members applying for tech positions.

LeetCode is a platform that specializes in algorithm questions ranked from "Easy" to "Hard" based on the complexity of the subject and solution. They also have a forum where people share what interview questions they encountered in phone screens and on-site interviews to share with the larger public and to help software engineers prepare. I have been fortunate that the only time that I encountered a LeetCode problem during a screening process was for Amazon. ... On this last interviewing journey, I found myself enjoying practicing algorithm coding questions because I found alternative resources to LeetCode.
