Belgarath posted:I believe that it is a valid test. It requires that you have some basic knowledge of programming concepts such as if-else conditional logic, looping, basic maths skills and you can output poo poo to a terminal. Can you tell us anything about the 2nd test?

Helicity posted:If one candidate goes through a different hiring process and meets fewer people and the rejected candidates hear about it, that can be a problem - this place might be doing legal CYA. Or they might just not have their poo poo together and rigid adherence to process is the only way the wheels turn. This is good advice and is how I would handle it. However you should use their scheduling snafu to ask some questions regarding their interview process, it will give you some insight as to how they treat prospects and employees. You probably can't ask too many questions.

sterster posted:To be fair, the rest of the interview was more relaxed and he did not continue the behavior. I think he was just really intent on listening but he was just holding himself that way. That's good to hear, either way good luck.

Joda posted:Yeah, not every weird interview is some master manipulator poo poo. Some people are just bad at people, or inexperienced The problem here seems to be this guy, if I remember correctly they made sterster come back for a 2nd interview with this guy only because he wasn't available during the 1st interview, contrary to the original plan. Hanlon's razor be damned, as a Director of Engineering he sounds like a piece of work Private Speech posted:Bad at people managers are bad managers though I 100% agree. I meant what I said sterster, good luck. Hopefully this all turns out to be nothing and you get the offer you are looking for.

My job titles have had as much to do with my responsibilities as does saying I speak English describes my specific vocabulary.

Jose Valasquez posted:
It's a huge work life balance red flag for me. How big of a red flag? Would it alone exclude a prospective hire? Or, would you look for other 'red flags'? I'm asking because even though I code when I'm not 'working' it is for me, not for work. Take, for example, a landscaper that mows his own lawn - using your logic they should not be hired by any landscaping company.

Jose Valasquez posted:I'm not saying that someone coding in their free time is a red flag (I have done it myself on occasion), I'm saying that employers specifically looking for people who code in their free time is a red flag. That makes sense, I misread your post.
