I've just told numerous companies that I won't do it, and they don't care, because they're just trying to fill seats and the sellers market isn't what some people make it out to be.
- DeathArrow 5y agoI am not searching for work. The recruiters are reaching out to me. And many companies are not trying to whiteboard me.
- brailsafe 5y agoI am searching for work, but these are largely asked by recruiters of me. It usually goes 0.5) Call with recruiter 1) coding test 2) call with 1 - 3 other people 3) Call with CTO or something 4) usually there's some other call I've started saying no to these though
- DeathArrow 5y agoWhen I was searching for jobs I got the best offers from companies that didn't require code interviews nor they required too many meetings.
- brailsafe 5y agoWell, that gives me all the more reason to try and continue to avoid these tasks. It is genuinely distressing though how many mediocre companies are adopting these horrific interview chains. More often than not starting with some multi-hour coding task before speaking with anyone worth speaking to. It's pretty bad.
- RattleyCooper 5y agoI had someone hiring a web/app dev position and they had me make a 2D platformer game for a coding task... I still have no idea why.. It was some education startup trying to find someone to write socket code. They were really nice but by the end of it I wasn't super stoked on coding tasks.
