On an anecdotal note: I gave a couple of their tests a try just for fun. They really need to start testing actual coding knowledge instead of encyclopedia knowledge of things like "what does this random git flag do? ANSWER WITHIN 10 SECONDS!"
It felt like I was back taking a PHP certification exam from the 90's. I much prefer dealing with companies that gives live-coding exams instead of these sorts.
- staunch 11y agoMy rule: anything that can be answered in 10 seconds of Googling is a bad interview question.
- rememberlenny 11y agoThat must be a new feature. When I signed up, there weren't any tests.
- weaksauce 11y agoI agree... the tests are pretty bad. They give you time allotted based on how many words there are which is a terrible metric of how hard a question is. The questions are not that hard but they are really bad because you get around 30 seconds to 1. parse the question 2. read all 4 answers when a lot of the answers are subtly different 3. figure out the best answer 4. answer it.
