I've mentioned it on the blogpost but: Do you have some metrics about the success of your candidates replying to those questions?
- ajkjk 11y agoThese are not actually interview questions.
- agonzalezro 11y agoWell, I know that there are "interview questions", but they are trying to show us the kind of knowledge that is needed to join a Company as Cloudfare so I am pretty sure that some of those are going to be questions in some point of their interview process. I just wanted to know that in case that the questions are formulated that way, what's the ratio of people that can successfully answer those.

- ajkjk 11y agoThe article says: "For quite some time we've been grilling our candidates about dirty corners of TCP/IP stack. Every engineer here must prove his/her comprehensive understanding of the full network stack. For example: what are the differences in checksumming algorithms between IPv4 and IPv6 stacks? I'm joking of course, but in the spirit of the old TCP/IP pub game I want to share some of the amusing TCP/IP quirks I've bumped into over the last few months while working on CloudFlare's automatic attack mitigation systems." That is, these are not real interview questions. They are trivia questions. I doubt most engineers even at Cloudflare can answer these without research.
