Hackers rejoice? Really? Should hackers "rejoice" at being asked to do silly puzzles for the privilege attending one of your wonderful interviews? Surely it's more like "companies with useless hiring processes rejoice"?
- rvivek 15y agoHey almost, we're almost getting to put up real-world problems soon! We had a soft launch earlier this week and are working on the feedback. That said, we've got quite a lot of hackers who solve the challenges for fun :)
- almost 15y agoSorry for the negative comment. I think the headline just rubbed me up the wrong way :) I do think I would just be annoyed at being asked to use your site but I'm sure it's going to be useful for others. I do sometimes (quite often actually) do programming exercises for fun, but if you want me to do them not for fun you'd better at the very least be wasting your time as well as mine...
- rvivek 15y agoThanks @almost for the feedback. The thing is, the blog post isn't written by us (@interviewstreet), it was written by some person who bumped onto our site. Would be careful before posting such dramatic stuff. That said, we're bringing in real-world problems pretty soon. Do check it out :)
- uzair88 15y agoHi almost, Original blog post author here. Generally speaking, interview processes have undergone a fraction of the innovation that industry has seen. Hence, After learning about Interviewstreet and checking out all the amazing companies they've partnered with, I got a bit excited but I definitely didn't mean to offend :(
