I am interested in this too. I recently failed netflix code review because I used java 7 instead of java 8 which apparently showed them I don't keep up with new technology (even tough the question asked me to pick any language on jvm.) Other reasons given to me were that i used maven instead of gradle.

- mikulas_florek 10y agoI guess you can consider yourself lucky, I would not want to work for such company.
- sterex 10y agoYikes! They'd probably bury me if I used COBOL!
- hocuspocus 10y ago> all my open source code is written in java 8 for him to look That completely defeats the purpose of a small, self-contained assignment like the one you were given. And your code isn't even in Java 7 (no diamonds), I think it was a legitimate remark.
- meowlicious 10y agoYou think it would be helpful to let the candidates know what they would be evaluated for in the coding assignment. I would have dazzled them with java 8 if I knew I was going to be rejected a based on that :D I was under the impression that this was the usual algorithm/data structure/complexity rigamarole, not show us latest language features.
- bogomipz 10y agoYes this patently absurd. I am guessing you weren't allowed to discuss your code or choices with anyone either correct?
