Not sure if matters but at least to my understanding, DanKort is a debit card, so I would expect it to have a flat rate since the cost of transaction is less dependent on the total amount vs a credit card transaction where there is more clearance and risk involved?

At least in some jurisdictions I lived, debit card is as good as cash (well, not exactly the same but because handling cash has also its cost, most of retailers treat them equally)

not saying it is the case but a lot of restaurants I worked were cash only because their supply chain was very low tech (also cash-only) and they simply didn't pay the taxes.

Gas stations might be higher at least in the USA because the kick back for gas is sometimes higher (e.g.: 1% cash back). Also, gas stations seem to really don't want to handle cash those days.

Peakon glassdoor reviews on the other hand are the worst. How a company in HR industry can have such review and still offer such weak explanations for employee engagement across different industries, at the same time be compliant to GDPR (i.e.: not have any insight from the data but highly aggregated stats?)

It is insane that there is a company like Peakon that its only product is related to employee engagement but their own people seems to not be happy (see glassdoor reviews).

What a time to be alive.

> I, and most other employers, are not looking for perfect answers

I wouldn't agree with that. Most of the interviewers I had at the end of the day didn't want the take the risk of "hire" if the answer wasn't like they expect.

> We want to know whether you are the type who chokes. It tells us that your desire to look good in front of someone (or conversely, your fear of looking bad in front of someone) fills up your mind more than your desire to solve a problem.

I think that can be better written in the job requirement. I would think twice before going to an interview which the solely purpose is to make an artificial stressful situation, out of an already quite stressful situation, just to see if I break or not.

Yeah, I can give zero shit if the stakes are low or if I am not interested in the job or the company for example. What happens is not my ego is hurt, but before I go for an interview I am already emotionally invested that I want to work for that prospective company.

All that said, people come from different backgrounds, imagine interviewing someone who is constantly judged in life and/or have struggled with bad managers prior to expect they would be free like a bird in front of failure.

> they are tests that are related to the job

This is questionable. There is data suggesting job performance is not correlated to interview performance. Also, none of the questions in my last interviews have anything related my actual job, not even the language nor the problems I solved (since I could pick any language to write the code). The link between them are very arbitrary imo.

Strongly agree, I know there is some literature on that, but just wanted to add that for me the process of solving problems is very asynchronous and usually the a-ha comes out in the most unexpected times.

Right! Whenever I am next someone about to type in their password, I forcefully look away so the person feel in peace to type in their passwords :)

Kudos for you trying to alleviate that, but from my past experience you are very the minority - most of the interviewers behave like '12 angry men' judges.

> This is something I need to study each time I want to change jobs.

+1. It is not that I don't know how to do it, but I have to practice beforehand to have it in my auto-pilot and not spend time during the interview. Otherwise I will panic seeing the clock ticking and my IDE freezing indexing files, etc.

> I would like to see a large company trying a replication study on their interview practice with their current employees.

IIRC Google did that and the results showed that more than half of employees wouldn't pass the interview. I can't really find the links for that bc I heard that from close friends.
