I dunno I got my job last year and it was two interviews:

• General personality interview, the sorts of normal interview questions like “Who are you? What do you do in your current job” etc.

• Technical interview, which consisted of “Here’s some code. Tell me what it’s doing. How would you make it better?” and then some more general ones like “What design patterns have you heard of? Have you used them? If you have, when and why did you choose them?”

That was pretty good when compared to some of the other jobs I applied for back when I was a student. I applied at Boots, and it was phone interview, technical interview, abstract reasoning test, group work test, a powerpoint presentation, final interview, and then I got rejected. I applied to Nissan, phone interview, big group interview day having to spend money to get to the location, rejected.

I’m a bit more picky these days. One job wanted to record my screen and my face while doing a technical test, and I just refused outright, which pissed off the recruiter because she seemed pretty desperate to fill the role.

Not fair to the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs got hit by a meteor, humans are destroying themselves.

and yet… if it’s a company that’s a bit slack on security, the right command in the right place by someone with 2 monitors can kill the company dead.
