one of my in-person interviewers at Google forgot they had to do this - I spent like 38 minutes of our interview whiteboarding and then he said, "oh crap you're supposed to do this on the computer" - i furiously typed for a few minutes to try to replicate what i'd done.
when i later talked to HR there was no mention of this in the interviewer's report.
- Traster 7y agoCan you imagine working with that guy though - "Hey guys, I'm just about done with this feature get ready for the PR". "Paul, you've written it all on the whiteboard again. How many times Paul, it's got to go in the computer."

- koonsolo 7y agoIt's of course better to blame you than to admit his own mistake. This reminds me of a joke at my previous job, where we always said "the intern did it" when something was wrong :D. The intern that already left months ago of course.
- Pinckney 7y agoThat really sucks. They're supposed to just take a photo of the board and transcribe it later. I never touched a computer when I interviewed. When was this? I think the chromebooks are fairly new in interviews, and it sounds like the interviewer didn't read the memo about how it works.
