Personally, as an engineer at a highly desirable company, I would hate this process, and I imagine your candidates hate it too. And if your point of view during hiring comes from a place of looking for candidates trying to 'bullshit their way through' (your words), I wouldn't feel comfortable working there.
- popularonion 5y agoYou would hate talking about your job for 45 minutes? Honestly trying to understand what your outrage is about.
- splittingTimes 5y ago"bullshitting" was indeed a bad choice of words on my part and it's not how we see our candidates nor it's reflective of our rational why we choose this interview style. It was a mere reference to another post further above. We try to make the candidates as comfortable as can be in a stressful interview scenario by having them talk us through some of their previous work. If that does not do it, i do not know what is. If you feel comfortable to code while others watch, good on you. I personally am not that kind of person. We try to be mindful of their time by having a single interview with minimal mandatory preparation time and same day feedback. We want to give them a chance to see how we as a team interact.
