I dislike fizzbuzz. it tells me nothing as an interviewer and even less as an interviewee give me a problem that contains something your team use a lot. call an api and do a thing, transform some data, make a website show A Thing alternative have some code prepared and have your interviewee tell you what is happening in said code. I tried this once and it sparked good conversation

PIZZA.BAT posted:i don't think that's what they're saying, although they might be. it's more 'can you look over this code and get a good idea as to what it's doing. what would error conditions look like here? if you had to implement a change, how would you do it?' etc. i don't think they expect them to be familiar with their whole codebase or anything, rather if they're shown a chunk of code and given an explanation as to what it's supposed to be doing, can they start fiddling with it yeah it’s this kind of thing. basically use a code example to start a conversation about code and then determine something about your candidate

I went and interviewed with LEGO and was rejected on a third interview round. The reason? The case I presented wasn't enough. Which I mean, fair enough. Except the hiring manager told me to not do something amazing or polished, don't spend more than a couple of hours on it. On top of this they were extremely slow to actually get around to the interviews. From first application to actual rejection? 1.5 months.

Denmark is still insane, in that we've had the same low unemployment since the beginning of the pandemic until now, hovering at around 2% at the most. Boomers are exiting the job market pretty rapidly and there are so many positions going unfilled.

Achmed Jones posted:it's this. they are not going to waste employee time telling you what the actual problem was. even if it were free, they wouldn't do that because it might make you mad or open up liability. and if you're mad, you might not apply next year when they've decided to mash the 'hire everyone' button or whatever this tracks because the one time I've been given honest feedback I got real angry. The feedback in question was "we didn't feel you shone in the interview", which is fine I guess, but the interviewers were people I've worked for as a freelancer for two years.

The boss is the worst genx person to have ever lived and his wife just happens to also have been his phd student when they met don't worry about it. Also you can't publish without eating his boot also your only metric is how much you publish so anyway I touch computers for a living

everyone should just post to free journals like arxiv instead of the terrible money machines that are Nature et al. Quality of papers clearly don't matter to them (at least not for my field which is extremely hit or miss) so why not just post papers wherever

Achmed Jones posted:it's a very very broken system but "have no editorial oversight" ain't the solution. at least in the humanities. i kind of expect that the grant-funding-review process could stand in for this in a lot of cases in the sciences since people would still read and respond to the output of the prestigious 2023 Poodle Grant or whatever. but the lack of external funding sources in the humanities (among other things) means that the self-published world is an absolute cesspit my field of chemometrics (well used to be my field but that's neither here nor there) gets published in all sorts of Elsevier journals and it's a cointoss if articles that are just through and through terrible gets through. Basically imagine someone waving their hands and going "AI" could just publish whatever the gently caress they wanted as long as the word spectroscopy was tacked on at the end.
