Yeah I've done many whiteboard interviews and I'm well aware of algorithmic problems, complexities, etc as I have a BSc and an MSc in computer science. Codility problems do test for those, but their problems are usually some sort of puzzle or brain teaser type of questions that I have hardly encountered in my work. It's not that I "failed" to get into Toptal. I refused to take the codility test after seeing it as I didn't see any point in doing so. I'm sure I could solve those codility problems in 30 min. each if I practiced similar problems for a couple of weeks, but why should I? I told them this, and their condescending response to me is why I called them stupid. Programming is a vast field, and not every programmer is going to find such puzzles "interesting and challenging". |
