Its funny how some people react to these?
I suspect you see them as time wasters which is why you end the interview. I see them as ice-breakers and rather enjoy them because they are fun to talk through.
- pjmlp 2mo agoI am on my 50's now, if I have to prove that I am worthwhile being an employee with such teasers instead of what I have done thus far, I rather spend my time elsewhere, unless I am desperate for getting the position.
- voidfunc 2mo agoHonestly that may be just the reaction the company was hoping for which is both valuable for you and them. You save time not going through an interview for a place you might dislike and they get to move on quickly.
- modeless 2mo agoYeah I can see people using these as proxies for age discrimination
- pjmlp 2mo agoSeniors are not welcomed by most companies, because we already seen all movies management pulls up employees to trick them "doing more with less". Ironically the same companies are more than willing to get the same seniors as highly paid external contractors for exactly the same tasks, and without these kind of time wasting interviews.
- mcv 2mo agoYeah, I was recently asked to do a coding assignment for a company I wasn't even sure I wanted to work for. Sorry, but I'm not going to start an interview process with extra work. I'd do it if I was really sure I wanted to work there, but that's something I discover during the interview process.
