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 don’t come from a developer background but that honestly sounds ridiculous.
If this type of thing is standard in software development, I feel bad for anybody in the industry.
I can only talk about my experience, not sure how it reflects the whole industry. But all the big companies I applied for had a multistep recruitment process. On the other hand, the company I work for at the moment, was more than chill during the interview process. I had two interviews, one with the HR 3rd party and one with the CTO and the founder. I didn’t do any homework and most of the time we talked was a casual small talk with some tech questions. The more I think about that conversation, the more I think that I didn’t read between the lines. I guess the people who I talked to were really good t judging the character.
