In our interview, we have people from 4 different departments who will talk with the candidate, as well as the team (who is there for the coding portion.)
I honestly don't want to have to test if someone can handle a simple algorithm. (I'm not talking about anything crazy here, mind you.) Can they read code? Can they think about how to test?
I've seen faked code samples, and our test has a half dozen answers on github.
I want to just assume that anybody with five years of programming experience can code, but I've worked alongside enough counterexamples that I know I can't assume that.
That said, I'd really rather not have to deal with it as a candidate or as an interviewer.
- kuro68k 9y agoThese tests favour people who are good at tests. I know people who test will, crank out code fast, but I'm the long run they suck because they didn't think about it enough. I'll point a company at my sample code. They can ask me about it too make sure it's really mine. When interviewing people I'd much rather have someone who knows how to find the best solution, not the person who has read a list of questions like this.
