I was asked to do whiteboard interview once. I simply laughed and thanked for wasting my time. This was a company that knew me from previous jobs and they still insisted on this pointless exercise (1). From that point on I start by asking first, I dont do whiteboards, I dont do quizzes, I dont do personality/aptitude evaluations or out of the box tests. There is no point in asking me what some silly obscure acronym means when google is 2 seconds away, or testing if Im a team player if Im being hired to sit in the basement and staple patch cords together.
Google can pull this BS because they pay good money and are at the top of their game. But 100 employees boring 9-5? lol no. Lets face it, I dont need you, you need me. You came to me first.
1/ I returned twice as a contractor to fix shit build by new employee screened with white board :). This wasnt even a big company with strict corporate ruleset, they were just clueless :/
