> A successful engineer at well known shops will fail a pressured evaluation where a google engineer will pass the interview. It make sense because google's interview process is harder.
Nonsense. Googlers will pass bc they on average ship more code than an average eng at all other companies i worked for combined together. More code written -> more practice -> better outcome in coding sessions. It’s not really a great mystery. I can only assume same is true for fb based on the outcomes I’ve seen personally
> If a person is really good at interviewing that probably means they do it a lot and are probably looking at moving more often
No it doesn’t mean that. It’s also really obvious from the resume
That says nothing to what happens after they get hired.
It also doesn't tell you tenured eng can't do two for-loops. It probably tells you that this person hasn't been interviewing for years. You are a part of their process and are a practice interview. Each time this candidate interviews they will get better and hired. If a person is really good at interviewing that probably means they do it a lot and are probably looking at moving more often. If you want to hire someone who will stay you need I would give tenured engineer a chance they will probably blow you away.
