Could also be an intentional thing. Coding nerds do not have a good reputation when it comes to explaining why someone else is wrong in constructive way. I might want to test if someone not only has the confidence to defend something they think is right in the face of 'power' saying its wrong but also to see of they do it in an educational way or a smug haha your dumb and I must prove Im right way.

leper khan posted:Please don't be combative as an interviewer. It makes a very stressful situation much worse. If you want to make sure someone can explain things thoroughly, try, "I'm not sure I follow, .." over "No, the thing you said is wrong" /especially/ when the thing they said is not wrong. There is one company I have labeled as toxic for doing this both times I interviewed with them (right out of school, and the last time I was hunting); I will not pursue candidacy with them at any point in the future. Yeah, I would never do this, just trying to think of reasons why somebody might have.

ultrafilter posted:Behavioral interviewing is just asking questions like "Tell me about a time you [did something]". It's good if it's done well. Yeah Ive always used the STAR way of answering (Situatuon, Target, Action, Result) helps frame your answer and tick the boxes especially if you remember result includes not only what you learnt but how you then passed your learning on to help others learn as well.
