During the part where I get to ask them questions I always ask about their current project and whats it built in. Even at the big guys they always reply with the same frameworks everyone else uses etc. Then I say something like oh so your project is using framework x so you're not coding your own libraries from scratch using graphs etc.
One interviewer took it personal and hung up on me haha.
- namelezz 10y agoLOL. You have to have guts, to ask such question.
- jarsin 10y agoOne time i coxed the interviewer to show me the solution on the whiteboard when i could not figure it out. I kid you not he could not do it and got confused like i did. I caught the punk red handed asking a question he did not know very well.
- moftz 10y agoDepending on how early into the interview process it was, that guy just might have been looking to see how you arrived at a solution no matter how correct it was. I would rather see someone's problem solving skills than how many whiteboard problem solutions they can memorize. Even in school, I've had plenty of professors that would give partial credit for exams that may not have the right answer but the steps to arriving at a solution or deriving a formula to come up with the solution were on track.
- laughfactory 10y agoI did this to the recruiter who did a phone screen for a position for Google. She was being super aggressive and borderline abusive in her questioning, so I rapidly lost interest in ever working there. And when I got the opportunity to ask her questions I turned all her questions around on her and asked her for solutions. She admitted she didn't know any of the answers. I didn't get a call back, but I kept my dignity. I pity people who work at Google now.
