I have been interviewing quite a bit lately, and I have found that my favorite interviews are take home tests that are representative of the kind of work I would be doing at said company. I am more comfortable with that style and I perform better. More than that though: it gives me an idea about what it will be like to work at the company. If my only experience is studying algorithms and coding on a white board, I have a hard time knowing whether or not I will enjoy working at this company for years of my life. A promise that you can work on "interesting problems" is hardly enough. I'm curious why more companies don't take the opportunity to sell themselves. Anyhow, I've hung a whiteboard in my room and try to practice for interviews as much as possible. It's incredibly draining and produces a feeling completely opposite to how much fun I have building things. This feels like getting started on the wrong foot.
