others went heads down for half an hour and then came back up with the answer
How did people who took this approach fare in your scheme? Thumbs up for solving the problem or penalised for “not a team player?”
- HeyLaughingBoy 9y agoThumbs up of course. We're hiring them to be developers first and foremost, so if that's how they work best, so be it. Then we move on to discussing their solution and if they thought it could be improved in any way. The rationale for this phase of interviewing was mainly to accomplish the following: 1) Can you take a problem statement and show progress in writing code in the language of your choice to solve it? You don't have to complete the entire exercise, but you do need to show us that given enough time, you'd probably get the right answer and that you can explain your logic. 2) Attempt to weed out the personalities who can't take negative feedback or refuse to accept guidance when they're wrong.
