The post seems to say a lot about how Byteboard will provide a more insightful, less biased experience for recruiters through a project-based interview process. But I don't see any concrete examples of what that looks like in the post. I looked at the website linked (https://byteboard.dev https://byteboard.dev) and didn't find anything too specific there either.
Does anyone have an example of what a Byteboard interview looks like, maybe a sample project? I feel like there are some details missing here about what makes Byteboard as helpful as the article says it is.
- dang 7y agoYes, the post includes remarkably little detail. TechCrunch has marginally more: https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/17/googles-area-120-launches-byteboard-to-improve-technical-interviews/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/17/googles-area-120-launches-...
- civicsquid 7y agoNice find, at least there are some screenshots that give us an idea of what this looks like. From what I can see, it's a lot like the type of content I've experienced smaller companies asking, which I'm for because it does require some amount of open-ended engineering that fits into what applicants would be expected to do every day. There's a made-up feature that's required, and you discuss how to implement it (and then actually implement parts of it), that sort of thing. What I think is still a bit disappointing is that this is being pitched as a fix for screening, not for the actual on-site interviews where the memorization questions usually come into play anyways. It feels a bit disingenuous and contradictory.
