Suppose a candidate has a pet on their lap and seems to be struggling to control the pet (the pet makes noises/meows/whines so they’re forced to constantly move it: taking it off the laptop, moving it to the floor and back onto their lap) during an interview. They stop coding multiple times to deal with their pet. But miraculously they get to a working solution, and normally they might be a borderline case. Not superb but not failing. Would you skew your feedback?
Rather it be a pet than a screaming baby
Lol What do you mean there is a whole slew of benefits catering to parents. Basically once you have kids you are corp slave for life so they make it work for you. Did you think wlb was about single people partying or couples zoning out on romantic beaches?
It depends. If it was a dog or a cat, I’d rate them normally. But if they were juggling a camel and a leetcode hard successfully, I’d hire them.
This can’t be a real post. If they got to the solution, does it matter?
Culture. If you are worried that working with this person on a day to day basis means I have to deal with his pet craziness, then I might not want him as a coworker. They might be stellar technically but it’s not just their skill. It’s also a person I have to interact with. If you disregard such an important meeting with that batshit pet display, well morning show the day. I would expect more of that shit when he is under payroll and not looking for a job.
"batshit pet display" 🤣🤣
I feel like they already disadvantaged themselves, I don't think you need to take more points away. I'd just rate them as their skills pertain to the bar, I don't think the pet is relevant
Did u see the pet? He might be playing down der looking at you on screen?
I’ll also hire if they were interrupted by their kid.
why would this matter lol
The candidate is only toying with you. They don’t need the job, just doing interviews for fun.. 😂
I would think it’s discriminatory if you count the pet as the interviewing experience
