Our Chief Technology Officer, Pierre Denis, asked me to pass on the following response to your review:
Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the live coding challenge may be unusual by not grading interaction with the interviewer. This is to simulate a real-life scenario where you would be coding on your own. The only difference is that the interviewer can see your thought process in action, based on your actual coding. We prefer watching the art of coding in action rather than discussing the art of coding. A number of candidates have told us how refreshing it was to be able to demonstrate their skills in person without interruption or extraneous questioning.
