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)

    1. Interview
    2. team meet-up
    3. coding tasks with my thought process

    According to the team I nailed it + above expectations. I was asked for my salary: Said at least between X and Y.

    I received an offer with X.

    1. negotiations
    2. negotiation feedback

    They raised it to the middle

    I declined. New offer arose: Y.

    I declined again since they were cheap and not transparent like me.

    Received a flame e-Mail afterwarsa about how I would dare to decline since it is the matching salary. I have wasted their time and effort. THE CEO WROTE THE LAST SENTENCE IN UPPERCASE.

    Oh, and I should have been responsible for one year to maintain enums about tax numbers, since everybody started there like this.

    Uff.
