"best performers work" With a title like that you really just cannot take this study seriously lol. Not to say it's not interesting but that is one crazy claim, at best title should be "most effective interviewees." Also, I work in FANG but signed up for this website and can't even participate, so how you chose all these candidates is also questionable.
- tmp_anon_22 5y agoThe logic being "They work at Google/Dropbox/etc... therefore they are the best performers" really irks me.
- yrgulation 5y agoThe author confuses successful products with high performing tech and high performing engineers. I’ve met many brilliant indie engineers that build highly performant code that almost no one knows about yet it provides these people with a steady stream of income and they would never work at faang or unicorns.
- criddell 5y agoI was thinking the best performers may very well be at one of those companies, but there's a pretty good chance that they never did any kind of coding interview. Maybe they were hired through a merger or acquisition or perhaps their reputation or portfolio is more than enough.
- overrun11 5y agoI don't see this claim being made anywhere. The article claims the opposite: the best performers on their technical interview happen to be from Dropbox/Google etc.
