The Most Structured Way to Prepare for Coding Interviews

AlgoMonster will help you crush the technical interview in less time and with fewer sleepless nights grinding away random problems. You will learn the key patterns necessary to solve almost any interview question and gain the systematic knowledge you need to prove your expertise. Be more confident as you walk into that interview!

Use AlgoMonster to learn the patterns. The internet has no short supply of problems, however like an unsolved puzzle it can be a daunting task to see the big picture and patterns. Luckily interviews are centered around a small set of patterns. These are repeated over and over. Learn these building blocks, you’ll be able to apply them to any problem.

Learn the patterns and solve any problem.

Handcrafted by Experts

AlgoMonster was designed by a group of Google engineers who still remember the pain of grinding LeetCode when prepping for an interview. This is why we created a platform that allows you to progress in a structured way and return to the patterns you want to brush up on at any time.

Save Time and Efforts

Rather than an endless library of problems, AlgoMonster gives you a structured look at a much smaller, focused selection of coding interview patterns. The course allows you to progress steadily and gain the knowledge you need to solve new questions you've never seen before. You will be able to prepare for the technical interview quicker and with more confidence.

Learn Interactively

AlgoMonster focuses on both learning and practice. You get everything you need to excel at your technical interviews: a detailed introduction to the key coding patterns, examples and problems, presented in a highly visual and interactive environment. We support Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, Racket, Go, Haskell.

Get your questions answered by AI Teaching Assistant, pre-trained on all the knowledge from the course.

Guaranteed Results

By completing this course you will master all the necessary patterns, and we guarantee that you will receive an offer from at least one tech company.

FAQ

How does this compare to Leetcode?

Anyone who has done Leetcode from scratch can understand the struggle to get started. Being presented with ~2000 coding problems can be daunting and overwhelming. Luckily almost all the problems can be condensed to a set of patterns, which are repeated over and over. All you need to learn are these building blocks, and be able to apply them to new problems. We have done the leg work of summarizing the patterns into an interactive course, so you can get up to speed as fast as possible. Think of it as it A* path-finding algorithm with AlgoMonster heuristics. Checkout the statistics we used to compile the patterns.

Do you have instructional videos?

We have found videos to be suboptimal for learning algorithms because they are less interactive, and do not push you to think. And you really have to think when it comes to learning complex subjects like algorithms. Video is also difficult to glance through and jump around. It’s often useful to go back and forth over a new concept. Kind of like how it’s easier to read on a physical book than on a Kindle, it’s often easier to have all the information easily accessible. Also, watching videos loses the interactivity that is built into our notebook-style articles. That being said, we do realize some people learn best with videos, so we are working on adding them. Check out our YouTube channel for video content.

I find it hard to stay focused and practice. What can I do?

We recommend setting up a daily reminder. We can send you email every day with the Problem of the Day for practice and your progress. Form a positive loop where the satisfaction of solving a problem brings you back to practice and solve more problems. A short 30-minute daily practice can quickly add up.

How does AlgoMonster compare to academic courses, like Princeton's course on Coursera?

Tech interviews focus on a specific set of topics. Princeton’s algorithm course on Coursera places emphasis on complex academic topics, e.g. Prim’s Algorithm, Krushkal’s Algorithm for spanning trees, Bellman-Ford etc. These are very rarely, if ever, asked in coding interviews. It may be good intellectual practice, but usually it is not relevant.

How does AlgoMonster compare to XXX List of LeetCode Questions?

The lists you see floating around the internet are just questions to practice. You still have to figure out how to solve them yourself, summarize and derive the intuitions. AlgoMonster does all the heavy lifting for you. Just as Issac Newton professed, we enable you to stand on the shoulders of giants.

What if I get stuck?

We have a Teaching Assistant feature, an AI that is trained on all our content. You can ask it questions, ChatGPT-style, and it should answer most of your questions. If you still need help, you can always ask on our discussion forum or Discord.

What can I expect by the end of the course?

If you complete the course and master all the patterns, you should be able to solve most of the problems on Leetcode and understand the discussion forums. Most importantly, you will be ready to interview for the tech role.
