"Are you fucking serious? Probably HR persons do not know what a compiler is"
This is actually common. You're right, the HR person wouldn't know what a compiler is, she is following a script with admissible answers to the problems and just listening for keywords that show you have the bare knowledge to pass the screening interview.
From the tone of your comments about the interview, it sounds like you seemed shocked at some questions, thought they were simplistic, etc. and probably let this show. This, I think, was the biggest factor why you didn't get it. Many interviewers have no idea how to interview, and they ask pet questions culled from online sources and friends. If they get the idea that you find some question simple or "beneath you" they take it personally.
So, lesson for next time: React to all interviewer questions equally and control your frustration.
- matheusalmeida 16y agoI understand your point. But, for instance, the first interviewer said : "if you've already solved this problem, please say it and we change it". I think I didn't do anything bad when I said it was pretty common and the solutions are X and Y... I'll not lie and say that's the first time I have to code a solution to reverse words in a String and dealt with it like it's an NP Problem...
