How to have technical and coding interviews over Skype (skype.com)
8 points by vyrotek on Aug 31, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments


Had a final interview over Skype once (they were supposed to fly me out - but I guess decided to be cheap at the last minute) and then they he me to do white board coding exercises in a google doc. It was a really sucky way to do an interview.

Was so disappointing because I was really excited about the company until they made me do that.


As I'm not fed up enough about these recruiting ceremonies you have to endure just because you are a programmer. I wonder if bridge engineer has to build small bridges out of lego when they apply for work ...

Skype is so bad anyway. Does anyone but enterprises use them anymore, compared to the haydays?


Doesn't work on Safari therefore I'm out.
