If you have any style of interview, some candidates will be against it and they will shit on you for that.
When you use algo questions, people complain that it's not practical.
When you do use practical questions, people complain that they can't study one thing for all jobs like with algo.
When you do a take-home, people complain that it takes their personal time with no commitment from company's side.
When you take more than 1h for an interview, people complain that it takes too much time, some will demand payment.
When you do remote interviews, people complain that the dynamics is not the same and they'd prefer to whiteboard stuff, or that they'd rather not turn their camera on for whatever reason.
When you do on-site interviews, people complain about commuting and coding with people watching.
If you do fizzbuzz, people will be offended because they think you think they are idiots (this includes people who can't do fizzbuzz)
If you interview people with many years of experience in the industry, some will complain that they have to do anything during interviews since their credentials speak for themselves. Some of them will try to pressure you into changing the interview process just for them. These people are typically the worst candidates you get in terms of skills and personality.
When you don't give feedback, people complain about it.
When you give feedback, people will disagree with it, sometimes violently (I was stalked by one particular weirdo).
If you ask soft questions, some people will complain the questions have nothing to do with the job.
If you don't ask soft questions, some people will think that the interview is very impersonal.
- runawaybottle 5y agoI agree people will complain about anything, however, some of those you enumerated are valid complaints. Complaining about the take-home, fizbuzz is a little unreasonable. Complaining about needing a perfect Leetcode medium answer in 30 min is not an unreasonable complaint.
