- mikestew 8y agoYup, I left MSFT in 2005, and sometime before that they packed all the hiring managers in a room and told us: "brainteasers: quit doing them, they are not an indicator of anything useful." The practice didn't stop immediately, but it certainly fell out of favor shortly after amongst my crowd.
- itronitron 8y agoI got asked the water jug brainteaser in an MSFT interview, as luck would have it I had recently watched Die Hard With a Vengeance so I knew the answer :)
