I'll do the take home over a whiteboard firing squad any day of the week.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoWhat does this say about people who survive and dominate the firing squad?
- 52-6F-62 7y agoOnly that they've practiced dodging bullets in order to get a job designing kitchen appliances?
- crimsonalucard 7y agoWell it identified a person who has the super human ability to dodge bullets. What other way to identify and hire a super human? The kitchen appliance is a separate issue separate from identifying super humans.
- 52-6F-62 7y agoThe point being the ability to dodge bullets is irrelevant and costly when the task is to design a kitchen appliance.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoThe cost of the super human is irrelevant to the cost of identifying the super human which is the main point of the overall topic. You are making the divergent point of "is it worth it to hire super human coders?"
- Frost1x 7y agoIf businesses treated take homes with diligence and treated interviewees respectfully, I wouldn't mind reasonable take home assessments. This means the company is required to at the very least to send a "declined appplication" communication and not ghost. Ideally, a business would give feedback as well but I understand there are people who quibble into lawsuits instead of integrating constructive criticism to improve themselves. With the current lack of professionalism and respect in the hiring process industry wide, take homes as is are a good way to waste significant amounts of time when job hunting.
