I try to subtly steer the direction of the interview process from within my current companies. But it is fruitless, last time I got responses from other engineers that conduct the interviews like:
- "real world problems are not discrete enough to present and solve within 10 minutes" (but the random "average best solution" for a random algorithm question is, and they have 30 minutes to an hour to fumble through it without us telling them they really had 10 minutes)
- this is what we do for everyone (and when we find the right candidate that fits our autistic goals and is also sociable enough for our arbitrary culture fit ideals, we won't have any exercise like it in the actual job)
I just don't get how there is so much media about how bad the interview process is, on here and linkedin, but nobody has an alternative yet. Is hand waiving it away with "we just dont want false negatives" really the absolute to perpetuate this inefficient process?
