I applied a couple of times on their job applications, but only the last application caused a response from Agoda. They must have a lot of applications.
Finally, I had a Skype interview set up, with the request to have a computer ready. It turns out they want you to code live while being on Skype.
I don't mind doing a little coding task; however, getting up at 06:00 to make up for the time difference for a code exercise is a bit too much. This could have been done beforehand, but the interviewer told me that they need to know that I am the one coding and not somebody else.
I politely told the interviewer that I was not feeling comfortable with the interview process and cancelled my application. I believe a company can determine the skill level of a programmer by asking some good questions and having a discussion about it. But this needs an interviewer who is also skilled well enough.
Given a code example, write a unit test and sort a text alphabetically.
