The next big tech interview craze, I have long thought:
Here is a fucked up environment.
Here are logins for each role.
Here is your team.
Here is your role.
Each of you has a chance at each role. There are three of you. So three challenges.
The environment is experiencing the following symptoms. Diagnose, report, fix.
---
Then throw them at some broken stack with admin rights and figure why its broken and fix it.
Create various stack models to throw at teams based on team skill-set.
Never hire individuals. Hire strong individuals who can work in a team.

This is tech, give me broken technology tell me its expected behaviors, give me space to figure out what makes it tick and and I will fix it.
