Senior devs. Is anyone else insulted by coding exams?
I&#x27;ve interviewed hundreds of programmers, and really, you cannot trust pretty much anyone.<p>There&#x27;s so many people that think they can code, or just say they do that really don&#x27;t, that some sort of basic coding test is necessary if the job requires it.<p>Our hiring rate for some roles is 200:1, but we pay handsomely for those.<p>Think it the other way around, interviews are a two way process, you&#x27;re also interviewing the company, and the way they conduct the interviews, in many ways also tells you what they value. What they&#x27;re like.<p>Take it as an opportunity to get to know each other. Bring this up in a constructive manner. It may make all the difference and provide a stronger signal to both of you, you learn how do they react to feedback and at the same time you show that you&#x27;re capable of critical thinking and care enough about your craft to call bullshit when you see it.
