To clarify, full day means 4 sessions of an hour each bridged by lunch (1 hr). The hope is to give the candidate sufficient information about the team while the team gathers info about the candidate.
- ghaff 8y agoThat sounds pretty typical. In practice, it's not unusual to do one or more of the interviews by video because of travel schedules but four "in person" interviews is probably the norm.
- scarejunba 8y agoYeah, that’s how I understood it, but there’s often opposition on HN to that process.
- ghaff 8y agoI guess if you're hiring junior people to stick in a standardized box, it's mostly just a numbers game. Way back when I got a job offer out of school strictly based on my resume (took another job). But even when the interview process was mostly a formality because I knew many of the people and they knew my work, I still had some on-site interviews. I'm pretty sure on-site interviews are the norm for the vast majority of professional jobs. Including, or perhaps especially, for the most senior positions.
