We give coding challenges to our intern applicants, and most fail. We give different challenges and expect different levels of competency for a senior role.

Code challenges at least have the capability of being very useful. We try and present the type of problems people will have to be solving in that position; if they struggle with it and someone else excels, they have done their job.

Meh, let it stay there. It has always been as optional as every other "requirement" on there.


CS is not about programming.


I know, it's a wonder the degree made it on there in the first place.
