Yes. I interviewed through a full round (i.e. 6) of technical interviews. Once the firm (a startup) indicated interest in moving forward, I requested to meet with the CFO, VP of Sales & Marketing, and everyone who interviewed me.
For each person who interviewed me, I gave them the same problem they gave me with a twist. I wanted to see how they dealt with an unfamiliar problem for which they had some understanding.
Kudos to the CTO for giving me such leeway.
- shrimpi 7y agoGreat anecdote. I would expect the approach to level-set the relationship from the start. And, in a way, when both sides of the decision to hire take turns asking questions, the participants will find themselves in a better state by cooperating while they may find themselves in a worse state if they do not, which provides prisoner's dilemma outcomes. For example, in a coding interview, I'll go easy on you because I know you'll go easy on me. And so how did things go from there?
