Why are the terrible engineers terrible, leading to them being fired (after 1-2 years?)
I've not hired anyone who turned out to be bad at coding, but I have hired people who had other performance related issues, which were difficult to suss out during an interview.
From my own personal performance, my approach to interviewing has led to far more true positives, than false positives, so I am biased towards continuing.
- Jhsto 9y ago> other performance related issues What are some examples of these?
- balls187 9y agoTypically it's patterns of repeated performance issues, such as providing estimates then routinely not completing work on time. Or, failing to complete tasks they've taken on, requiring other teammembers to step up in order to meet deadlines. There are more extreme cases, like insubordination, theft etc, but they are pretty rare.
