Thank you for your review. I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with the coding test. We do believe that a one hour long live test is the most respectful when it comes to the candidates’ time. However, we are aware that some people prefer other types of technical interviews. Going forward, we’ll look into providing a take-home exercise as an alternative to the live coding test.
I also want to thank you for the feedback on the tool we’re using for the coding interview (Coderpad.io). You’re right that it would be ideal to use a fully-fledged IDE and linter. However, as the end result is usually around 20 lines of code, we think it’s more important to use a tool that offers a large choice of programming languages and that can be easily accessed with just a browser. We are not looking for perfectly linted code in this test - we’ll try to give better context around that going forward. And of course, we use proper tools for doing our day-to-day work.
