Having just gone through the Google process: no. And IMO that's probably a good thing. Finding a balance between perfection and time pressure is something that should happen at a team level, not an individual level. I wouldn't consider it a mark against a programmer that he's a perfectionist, but I might seek to guide him toward being more pragmatic when the situation requires it.
- amichail 16y agoBut isn't perfectionism a sign of something more serious such as OCD?
- spooneybarger 16y agoI dont see anything wrong with the quest for perfection as long as it is tempered w/ an understanding that it is an unattainable goal.
- billswift 16y agoEven if it were (it's not), it is impermissible to "weed-out" people with OCD or a host of other problems in the US; it is an ADA violation.
