1/ This is painful to read. And I know I played a role in making some peoples' lives hell by doing the whole "gatekeeper nerd interviewer" thing that typically goes on with software job interviews.https://twitter.com/avdi/status/1232696122180804611 …
2/ I still don't think I have good answers to what would constitute a good alternative. But I think I can characterize what makes these interviews bad: * Failure to allow/encourage the interviewee to elaborate on their unique experiences and considering that carefully
3/ * Exacting enormous pressure on the interviewees with both high stakes and the piercing judgement of 3-5 people all staring at you and waiting for you to say something stupid. * Compressing all this down to just a few hours.
4/ * Trying to use clever code tests, especially under immense pressure, as a proxy for job performance (it's a very poor proxy). * Demanding that the candidate comes prepackaged as a ready to plug into your software development machine, rather than properly investing in them.
It’s threads like this one that convince me you should grow a company. You’d be an awesome manager. And I’m not just saying that; the hiring pipeline is how companies win. I’ll quit mentioning it now though.
Well that is really appreciated! Thank you.
Most tech interview experiences are stressful and unpleasant. I do my best to make it otherwise. Not sure we’re always successful.
