Obviously I can't speak for every company but those types of questions are typically used as a filter.
- Anyone who skips those questions are rejected outright. If you're not willing to put in a little time you're not interested enough to be considered. You'd be surprised how many people skip these questions.
- If you've done something crazy cool or interesting it's a plus but if not it isn't a negative.
- Can you communicate something that's a bit abstract?
- Relevant jokes are usually seen as a plus.
- travisjungroth 8y agoNothing can be a plus but not a negative when people are competing. If two people are going for a job and one of them gets an extra point, that's the same as removing a point from the other person.

- C1sc0cat 8y agoThat's a one sided view of work and how team dynamics work. Please don't take this the wrong way but "presenting" in this way at an interview is not helping you.
- mdpopescu 8y agoMy worldview might be skewed because I am normally looking for short contracts (6 months or less), not long term employment. I get bored with never-ending projects; I prefer projects with a clear finality. Given that, I am highly unlikely to care much about team dynamics - I want to do a (good) job and get paid for it.
