Nah, this type of anecdote is overblown, usually by people with a vested interest in keeping leetcode-like interview puzzles as a gatekeeper barrier to hiring and internal advancement.
- baud147258 7y agoFizzbuzz is a leetcode puzzle?
- mlthoughts2018 7y agoHuh?
- mieseratte 7y agoWell that’s just a false dichotomy. One can provide a coding challenge that isn’t a lame “gotcha” puzzle.
- mlthoughts2018 7y agoIn theory sure, it just doesn’t happen in tech interviewing though.
- mieseratte 7y agoWell, anecdotally, it absolutely does happen in tech interviewing, and I'm saying that both as an interviewer and someone presently interviewing for a job. Sounds like you've found yourself in an interviewing rut.
- mlthoughts2018 7y agoNo, been in the same job happily for a while & not currently interviewing. I am also an engineering manager and happy to be out of the hell of rank and file engineering interviewing in my career. It’s just a widespread, deep culture problem in tech interviewing. The questions and evaluation procedures are set up to be pedantic oneupsmanship trivia, and are not rooted in psychologically healthy realities of the way people work or demonstrate skill or communication patterns.
