Restrictions:
- Should not take longer than 3 hours for an inexperienced developer.
- No learnable skills tested like tooling, language, and domain experience.
- Simple to understand problem
- Problem should be obviously mappable to a solution
- Provide sample input and sample output data (only 1 case).
Scoring:
- Did the code work on the sample I provided?
- Were edge cases in the spec accounted for?
- Has the engineer followed a language standard (PEP/PSR)?
- Were docs (install, compile, comments) provided?
- Were unit tests provided?
- Were sample cases the engineer ran manually provided?
- Was the code "elegant"? Could another engineer at the company look at the code and maintain it in a year.
