- "Bring your whole self to work" . . . when the interviewers all seem like cloned/pod people under the skin. - Any job ad for a FOO Dev, where FOO is a language. They're hiring code monkeys. - A panel of interviewers suggests the company doesn't know how to interview. - "Gotcha" trivia questions. - Giving me a take-home assignment that takes much longer than their estimated time to complete . . . then asking me how long it took. - Telling me what IDE to use (even if it's one I would prefer). - Interviewer is another dev and is unwilling to tell me what they wish were different. - Whiteboard coding where interviewer says nothing. Maybe they stare at me. Maybe they do work. Either way . . . no. - Any question where the goal is guessing "the correct way to answer." - Hiring managers who clearly want to hand off responsibilities instead of just delegate. Seems more common in small startups. - Interviewers are late to call or join the video conference. Especially if they're at least 5 minutes late.
