Wow, there are so many new ways that people are coming up with to recruit software developers. Clearly there is a problem here that needs to be solved. I understand that the company needs a way to vet people to make sure they are technically proficient for the job. However, there must be a better way of filtering people. I just bailed on a company after they told me what the interview process would be: - Take home coding quiz where you need to sign up and use their algorithm platform. As you would expect, there was asynchronous programming and a recursion algorithm involved (two for one!) - 3 more technical interviews. 2 of which were screen share and/or white boarding sessions. 1 is a "riddle part", which I assume is some kind of brain teaser involving a recursive algorithm. After I saw the coding quiz and all the follow on stuff I just told them I wasn't interested. I was kind of offended, and it didn't put me in a positive mindset towards the company and engineers that worked there.
