What are your worst interviews you’ve done? I’m currently going through them myself and want to hear what others are like. Dijkstras algorithm on the whiteboard? Binary Search? My personal favorite “I don’t see anything wrong with your architecture, but I’m not a fan of X language/framework so I have to call that out”

Let me hear them!

(Non programmers too please jump in with your horrid interviews, I’m just very fed up with tech screens)

    I had an interviewer hand me an IQ test before they were even willing to speak with me about the position. Awful experience.

      I legit had a recruiter for Procter & Gamble tell me that “I’m not the right type of autistic” after applying and taking literally an hours-long personality/IQ test “designed” to screen for autistic candidates as part of a diversity push.
