Get stuff done but not exactly meet all of the requirements.
So maybe features will get implemented but rules and laws not necessarily respected.
And perhaps that’s useful for some companies.
- wahnfrieden 3y ago“No internet during dev” is not a business requirement, it’s hazing When I used to run interviews (no longer working) I’d learn the most from seeing how candidates resourcefully used google, skimmed results, found relevant info. That was immediately revealing.
- hgsgm 3y ago"Interview should be a real world test of my abilities." "OK, take two weeks and create a feature." "No, not like that."
- wahnfrieden 3y agoWho said that (not me)
- ambicapter 3y agoMight not be you, but I've seen tons of people on this board bemoan take-home interview tests.
- falcolas 3y agoUsually people are only annoyed if they're not paid for their (excessive for an interview) time. Two weeks worth of contractor rates for a finished feature as an interview? Sign me up!
- thih9 3y agoI think it’s a popular approach to see the hiring process as hazing, at least in some companies. I.e. to throw random hurdles, later check who’s doing best and hire them. I saw companies state that openly. E.g. saying: we’re all competent programmers, none of us like leetcode and we don’t use that in our actual job, but we need a way to filter candidates and this seems the best practical solution. Again, perhaps desperate people and/or hustlers make for a good workforce, especially in some companies.
