Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bucharest, Romania
Process
I received an assessment on HackerRank. There were two problems within 60 minutes.
The thing is, they should change this approach. It's boring for the candidate and will not reveal much.
I think first talking with the candidate about their experience, projects, and collaboration with clients, analysts, developers, etc., is more important. This can reveal perks about the candidate that cannot be seen from a coding assessment.
