asking someone to implement a lock free queue in an interview could be interesting because it can be interesting to see how somebody flails in a high-pressure situation where they know they are going to fail

how do i interview peopleBloody posted:i have to interview a person for an open position on my team. ive never interviewed anybody before, but i have been interviewed many times. obviously, nobody has bothered to train me or even provide a brief overview of how we do interviews at my company. how do i interview a person? i get a half hour one-on-one with them, which seems uselessly brief.

i hate the ones that are like "describe a time you had to deal with conflict" because idk those moments are never memorable to me like ive generally worked w/ pleasant people and it hasnt been an issue so i just kinda stammer for a while

i could probably pivot to being a systems engineer but that feels like an extremely pigeonholing move to literally just aerospace and defense

my favorite part of power analysis is when the EEs come back with numbers that obviously violate the requirements and just say "well lets just change the requirements or waive them"

meatpotato posted:9/10 of the technical interviews I've had have been stuff that seems straight out of leetcode though i like this one that does sound fun i had a postcard from a company like that at a school recruiting event. it was p cool. i just emailed in something like well it looks like <XYZ> is wrong, but theres no documentation of what this function is supposed to do, so maybe it is subtly doing the correct thing and the only defect is the missing documentation i got an interview they gave me a five figgy offer
