Is this really a thing outside US/US companies?
I've been now 10 years in software industry (as a developer) in Asia and Europe and never had one of these "whiteboarding algorithm"-interviews.
Interviews I have attended might have included something like that, but it's usually 1-5%. Most of the interview is talking about my previous experience, "how would you design a system xyz", homework tasks, "Take a look at this piece of source code for 15mins and tell me what's good and bad about it" etc.
- stevenwoo 7y agoI’m in California but applied for a couple of jobs in Europe. One had a 24 hour timed test on hackerrank to complete 4 of 6 problems (unrelated and complete mini games) and another for an Android position had a timed hackerrank test in Java trivia (disguised as a programming test) with a short time limit. These were the screens so the follow up on sites were probably worse.
