So... I don't know if we got the same test, but the one they sent me literally took less than 30 minutes to do. Just a pseudo "AI" that took a few trig functions to solve.
My guess is that if it takes you more than an hour to do a code assessment, you're doing it wrong.
Was up to 9 hours and took more like 4. Had some spare time so I knocked it out. I don't mind these things, but when you make someone invest hours, you should feel responsible for investing a couple minutes.
Was one of these "do something pointless in OO so we know you're not a potato" with infinite space for random scrutiny. 1st year undergrad stuff that makes you reconsider believing in intelligence. For a senior software engineering position.
Yep, that's what I meant. You in advance had at least few points that your bullshit detector should have detected:
- Up to 9 hours for the test assignments, too time consuming assignment. Usually that indicates to a lack of respect for the candidate and probably to the potential employee. So you might be a lucky that you was not selected for the next interview stage :)
- Proposing to do something pointless in OO for the senior position.
Considering that points absence of the company feedback should not surprise you :) Thanks for sharing experience with that company.
