Do you require pairing on real work? How do you handle candidates who need quiet to think? Going by the continual complaints about open plan offices, there seem to be a lot of us.
We require that ICs are able to work with others effectively; we have a very large engineering team working on issues related to health care and collaboration is effectively mandatory.
We keep the pairing as short as we can and we provide breaks between the short sessions to be as friendly as we can without being unrealistic as to what the candidate should expect in the actual job.
