NO FREE CODE. After getting through the recruitment hell I settled for one important rule for my sanity - symmetric time and effort involvement, i.e. pair programming with the engineer, onsite session with the team. Otherwise the project will likely be rejected for the most trivial reason but in fact most probably because of finding someone more desperate and cheaper. And yes, I've been on the other side as well interviewing people once.
- Bartweiss 9y ago> pair programming with the engineer This is probably the single best interview session I've ever had. Give-and-take is always good for easing the process, but in one case I had a programmer actually sit down with me at a laptop and pair program our way through an hour task. Still time pressure, I suppose, but it was vastly more natural and informative than any other interview I've done.
