What are your worst interviews you’ve done? I’m currently going through them myself and want to hear what others are like. Dijkstras algorithm on the whiteboard? Binary Search? My personal favorite “I don’t see anything wrong with your architecture, but I’m not a fan of X language/framework so I have to call that out”

Let me hear them!

(Non programmers too please jump in with your horrid interviews, I’m just very fed up with tech screens)

    I interviewed at Cisco once, with two managers. They started arguing with each other during said interview.

    I didn’t get the job, and I didn’t want it, either.

      to be fair, even if you got the job, ciscos high turnover rate, you’d probably be out the door in under 2 years anyways

        In this industry, now, why would you stay at a fang? Especially past 2 years!! The only benefit is going to be the line on your CV. Unless you’re in the c-suite you are grossly undervalued,burdened with office politics, and worsening conditions.

            Depends entirely on the business, subjective as hell.
