More than that, I would ask what their acceptance criteria are. I’ve taken a test like this only to get feedback that felt like a giant “got you!” from the hiring manager. There’s so much that goes into coding one of these up, and there’s a limit to how much effort a candidate is willing to put into free work, so this felt kind of bad. This was for Thomson-Reuters on their Clojurescript team.
- Guid_NewGuid 4y agoI just wrote a post about a quite similar experience. I feel like if a candidate takes a few hours to complete a test the feedback could be a slightly more involved process but from the hiring side it doesn't really scale. https://d22qefpbdavdoz.cloudfront.net/#interviewing-and-failure https://d22qefpbdavdoz.cloudfront.net/#interviewing-and-fail...
- rashkov 4y agoYeah this really captures what I experienced too. There’s zero back and forth which is how you would actually work with someone. I think that’s what bothered me most — it was an unrealistic situation for how people work together, and there was no chance to defend my decisions or feel out what the actual acceptance criteria were.
