Programmers of Lemmy, what are your interviewing horror stories?
Programmers of Lemmy, what are your interviewing horror stories?
What are your worst interviews you've done? I'm currently going through them myself and want to hear what others are like. Dijkstras algorithm on the whiteboard? Binary Search? My personal favorite "I don't see anything wrong with your architecture, but I'm not a fan of X language/framework so I have to call that out"
Let me hear them!
(Non programmers too please jump in with your horrid interviews, I'm just very fed up with tech screens)

I’m not a swe but I work in technology doing solutions, so semi technical I guess. I recently did 6 rounds with a company with positive feedback after each round. They told me they needed to get through a few more candidates and would have an answer on if an offer was being made the following week.
1 week turned into 2 into 3. At the end of the third week I lied and said I had an offer and told them that I needed an offer from them or to remove me from candidacy. The opted to remove me.
I was working at a job, so I wasn’t stressing it but the process was just gross
Good on you, and great move. They just wanted to see if there was anyone better, I've seen way too many hiring processes like that. Shit or get off the pot, it's a yes or a no
