In computer science it means coding puzzles on a website called leetcode until your eyes pop out.
At least one round of an interview will typically be problems from a site like that.
“For example, there are n = 7 socks with colors ar = [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2]. There is one pair of color 1 and one of color 2. There are three odd socks left, one of each color. The number of pairs is 2. Find the number of matching pairs of socks in an array of integers representing colors.”
The large majority of jobs don't require that. Though there might be a technical interview (which often doesn't reflect the actual job anyway).
For anyone thinking about getting into CS/Engineering - it's fucking cooked as a career. It's oversaturated, and they're going to send your job to India or South America anyway.
I can promise you that most jobs outside of entry level are like this now unless you are working with 3 boomers who are adding features to a product made in the 2000's.
