Whiteboard Interviews
In my previous company we used ask candidates to code a very simple task: reverse a string in Java, on the whiteboard or on paper. It is a trivial task but many seasoned people failed it to the extent that we thought &quot;you don&#x27;t really know Java, do you?&quot;.<p>To this day I&#x27;m very suspicious when I don&#x27;t get a coding task on an interview. That&#x27;s generally a pretty bad sign. Best option is when I get a notebook with &quot;my&quot; IDE, but I also coded on whiteboards, paper, Google Docs.<p>Frankly, I don&#x27;t know what other options are there. There should be code in the developer interview. Take-home task? GitHub account? Probation day?
