Wouldn't it be a more balanced approach if the technical problem were presented on the spot to __all__ interview participants, not just the candidate?
It's a technical job, it must be a collaborative effort in finding solutions! Aren't we looking for a team member, not a lone-ninja.
Sure, the candidate has to be more vested in advancing the process, but the fact that there's no known-ahead answer would potentially surface not only technical skills, but also personal ones, and ... at both ends of the table.
Not to mention, the "house-experts" could find such sessions stimulating, to say the least... Imagine, you get back to your desk after interviewing a candidate, and your team mates ask you "so what was the tech problem this time?", "could you crack it?", "did he/she crack it?".
- craneabove 6y agoVery intriguing idea. I’m thinking about how logistically this could actually work. It would build a sense of camaraderie as well.
- monksy 6y agoI like it. However, I have had an interviewer at a "top chicago tech place" (roll your eyes on that one) He basically did an inperson imitation of leetcode. Say problem, look at you. Don't give help when asked, stay emotionless.
