No whiteboard code, no algorithms questions. If you want them to code, let them do it on their own time in a comfortable environment. The industry needs to stop the bullshit leetcode meme that millenials are propagating.


I’m a little confused — can you explain how this is a generation’s fault?

It certainly seems that millennials are subjugated to this type of process, and it’s possible that millennials are the ones giving these types of interviews more often than not, but as far as I can tell these interviews propagated because large, well-regarded, highly successful companies (Google etc.) started performing them and then smaller companies just copied their formula. I’m not quite sure where the generational connection is.


Well said.
