Do you really think code tests like the ones you mentioned are an effective way to screen candidates? I will outright drop out of consideration for a role if Leetcode is mentioned. I'm not putting up with it.
- dadjoker 4y agoYes, but it depends. In our case, we purposely made them fairly simple, with a 50% passing score required, just to make sure they can do the basics. When I was applying, I would get code tests that were off the charts, and would take hours, where they would say that setting up a user and roles system on top of everything else should only take 3 or 4 hours, or I would get grilled on language minutia that were things I had never encountered in my day to day work. In ou se case, ee were just trying to have them demonstrate a minimal amount of code capability without overwhelming them.
