LeftistMuslimObama posted:corporate culture is defined by the ppl in management. in real businesses that's still greatest generation-ers and boomers, thus the suits. in startups its college dropout assholes with "a great idea", thus dressing like slovenly basement dwellers. our real business once saw someone at an all-company meeting ask the CEO if our great financials meant he could now afford new Levi's without holes in the knees

lol, the feedback was: 1)you code too slow and it didn't work the first time. um... ok? my programming style is very prototype-then-clean. im sorry you gave me a nontrival project to do in 45 minutes. 2)you didn't solve the problem with memcached fast enough or with the method we wanted. ok, but you also didn't ask if i had any experience with that product? ive never done poo poo with linux and said that up front. wtf. they "don't believe in resumes", so none of the very cool real-world poo poo ive done matters. just a stupid toy coding problem. i see what y'all are saying about programming interviews just being pure bullshit

hobbesmaster posted:sounds like what they meant by "not believing in resumes" is that they don't bother to read them yep, they're just really good at gauging people through toy problems and culture fit observation  - who needs resumes when you can just feel it y'know (check for the under 25 white maleness of the candidate)

and in this case they criticized a javascript/.net/database person about not knowing very low level stuff and linux seems like they could've just read the resume and figured that out. or during the initial recruiter contact conversations. or by taking 30s out of the front of the interview

LeftistMuslimObama posted:lol, the feedback was: lol @ the idea that developers are expected to instantly write code that works first time. If a candidate ever quickly wrote perfect code I would immediately think that perhaps we've hosed up and given them a task they'd completed in the past or they had advanced knowledge or something. The coding tests that we run for recruitment use a fictional language with unusual syntax and a subset of the features you'd normally expect in order to get candidates to take their time and solve the problem on the spot instead of just parroting something they've done a million times. What strange feedback, especially about the resumes bit. I agree that you may have dodged a bullet here!

fleshweasel posted:There's a huge luck element to interviewing. Just keep at it. Yes. And not because interviews are broken even. Last time I ran a round of hiring: 150 applicants, 40 people got a phone screen. 20 got (short, compensated) homework. All but like 2 got an interview to discuss. Probably 12 got a second round. Like 6 of the people made it to 'yes' consensus among interviewers. could only hire 2. Even if that was perfect filtering and no one actually good got bounced (impossible), still tossed 66% of hireable peeps. Never ever let an interview fail get you down. The numbers are so stacked against you, even if you are a golden rockstar, even if interviewing was measurable and objective and perfect.
