Technical Coding
I applied for a developer position requiring 2+ years of experience through a staffing agency. The entire process took place in a single day. It began with a written test containing 13 questions, including 3 small programming tasks. I answered 10 questions correctly. A female HR representative evaluated my answers, despite lacking technical knowledge of the specific technology and programming logic. They seemed to rely on memorized solutions found online. If a program was written using a different, yet correct, logic, it was not accepted. Two of my programs, which were logically sound, were incorrectly marked as wrong. When I pointed this out, she put my resume on the rejected list and told me to leave for the day. I would advise avoiding this type of interview.
