Pfft, amateur hour. At Google they ask you to select letters from the sentence using the Fibonacci sequence, put those into 5-letter groups, sort the groups together, while also sorting each group individually, in reverse, and then give the Huffman coding of the result. It's not that bad though, because at least they give you a very generous 55 seconds for that.
@@SS-yj2leit typically goes like this: they ask a coding/programming question and after you answer (correctly), they follow up with if you can be more efficient /optimal, etc. with your solution.
Thats all cool and stuff, but can you list your 20+ years and search for the most efficient code that you have written and tell me the first quarter of the respective months code.
@@SS-yj2le In coding interviews from what I have seen (Im a programmer but not in a programming job) they like to make sure you know about code optimization, or complexity.

They will (For the big SV companies) drill you on data manipulation and how efficient you do it.

You don't want to work for psychopaths, anyway. In one interview, the woman left a book on the floor in her office where I had to get to my chair. It was a test to see if I'd pick it up. I asked her if she wanted it there, and she said yes. (test passed) In another interview (made it to 2nd interview), on the elevator ride up with the scheduler, she told me I was an hour late. I apologized but also said I didn't think so...and showed her my calendar, which I'd notated and repeated to the interviewer at the end of the 1st interview. She repeated that I was an hour late. At this point I realized that I didn't want to work for them, testing me on how I would be a yes-employee or an annoying individual thinker.
It's pure insanity. I went to an interview where I knew I essentially already had a spot if I wanted. I was nervous as hell. I think I answered all their questions well, the interview had become pretty laid back, we were chatting and laughing. And then they made me get on a laptop and code with a projector with a room full of devs judging and critiquing my every keystroke. I felt like I fell apart, and I still think I did, but like an hour later they called me with a big offer. Can we not find a better way, people? Can we stop just torturing each other.
The amount of times that I, a professional software engineer, have to Google the most basic things because my brain is farting is astounding. Most people are not 10x engineers constantly firing on all cylinders
While true that it's traumatic, i have seen people get jobs in tech as developers that i feel physical pain watching them work. No names named, but someone i was training in knew 0% of the keyboard shortcuts like copy and paste and was finger pecking the keyboard doing maybe 10 words a minute. They would copy something over (right click copy, right click paste) rather than type things in, and was missing the fundamental knowledge of the code to be able to search any questions they had. If the coding interview came across as a "see how you handle a computer and id you can look things up" that's fine and in fact probably good
@@catelynh1020 Yeahh I would rather test my applicants on how they would google things, and see whether they can be an independent problem solver, instead of testing some bullshit knowledge that won't be useful during the actual work anyways
I think I would never be able to do that. Being judged in every word, every change of tab, I would forget how to write my own name. It seems a little too much to ask applicants to do this kind of pressure test, and I see a lot of positions that have tests in pairs with the interviewer(s)
When I'm in these tough parts, I often just ask straight up now, "what do you mean by that", "what exactly are you looking for", "what is the outcome you're looking for". Mainly because I'm tired of interviews trying to purposely make things hard without context. It is fucking annoying. And then I say, "I don't know how". Interviewers get real annoyed about it after answering my questions.
If there is something confusing to you about the question, your best bet is to ask questions about the question. It is very common for an interviewee to end up wasting time going in the wrong direction, and putting more pressure on themselves with the effort of re-orienting. Yes, sometimes an interviewer will get annoyed at you for failing to read his or her mind and going straight to the "correct and clever" answer they want, but you were likely doomed anyway and those are people that would be less enjoyable to work with in the long run.
My current engineering job actually looked at my resume. They mostly talked to me about Dark Souls and checked me out to see if I wasn’t an asshole or weird.
incredibly based. my last interview, i walked around San Fransisco with the CEO, got some grilled cheese while talking about research papers. when we got back to the office, he asked me when I could start. I absolutely can't stand leetcode interviews.
@@orangeeeeeee always put something fun on your resume, to make yourself more human and break up the monotony of "oh look another person who can code in C++, great."
I had an interview recently where I was asked a theory question, I answered the best I could but the interviewer was not happy so I said "how would you explain it?", he went "ee....I....e....you got me there", then the feedback was that my theory knowledge is not strong enough for the position, tech interviews are such a bullshit, if you had to interview them out of nowhere they wouldn't pass their own interviews
lived a similar experience but while I was at high school. the f*cking teacher couldn't solve his own test. in my sincere opinion, if you can't answer your question, you shouldn't be asking that question.
Unlike how I got my job, a one hour coding exercise (some silly "problem" where the important part is not solving the problem, but showing that you understand coding and algorithms). With the person checking the code actually having extensive programming experience themselves.
I was once denied from a junior position because I couldn't tell what my favourite new feature of the then-latest PHP version was. I was hired one year later at a mid-level position... by the same company. Many coding job interviews are ran just off the latest list of what Google or Facebook claim they do, without really realizing why Google and Facebook do it that way. And definitely without paying Google kind of salaries or working on Google-level projects.

I don't know about other companies, but the one I'm at (a very well-known Fortune 500 company), the layoffs are the result of some extraordinarily bad decisions by the top brass over the years. Things like trying to turn traditionally fully-owned products into a service with recurring fees, something that has made its former customers actively hostile and earned the company several lawsuits. Or acquiring more debt than assets. The engineering filter is the least of its problems.

"Great! You're hired!...in reverse! That means you didn't get the job!" Google was (still is?) infamous for having the most ridiculous, sociopathic, arbitrary, grueling interview process. Supposedly around 9 rounds of interviewing, for positions far below the C-suit level that would warrant that.
Entry level? Like right out of school? Good lord no. If you mean "starting" salary, then Google pay grades don't reach that until their equivalent of senior manager level. And this interview process has nothing to do with actually finding the most competent worker. It's flexing by sociopaths trying to weed out anyone who won't buy into their tech cult.
@@alamanashaikh3527 interviewers are actually friendly but very often give ridiculous tasks and require even more ridiculous explanations. Sometimes even they themselves can't do what they required the new candidate to do
The last job interview I went to presented me with the most convoluted and sub-optimal code example, I just rewrote the entire thing from scratch... The issue being, my task was to find a small bug that their "senior dev" intentionally left inside the example. He clearly didn't expect someone to ridicule his overly complicated solution to a simple problem, by plain out rewriting it with better performing and easier readable/understandable alternative...
@@samueloh4528 Well, I didn't proceed to the next round... for another reason... There was a senior dev and HR person in the room during my interview. The senior that was interviewing me was kinda demeaning, to the point where he was deliberately trying to ask questions most people wouldn't be able to answer. The more of those questions I answered correctly, the more annoyed he became. I still wanted the job, yet didn't want to share an office building with this unpleasant senior person. I asked if they allowed hybrid remote work a couple days a week, to which the senior loudly replied: _"some people can't work from home, nobody works from home. The same laws apply to everyone here!"_ ... By this point I knew that I didn't want this job anymore. The HR officer asked at the end of my interview how much income I expect, to which I replied: _"What about the equivalent humble income of the CEO, in order to comply with the communistic tendencies of this company where everyone is treated equal."_ They threw me out, I later learned that the senior dev was the CEO. Still, seeing that dude's head turn as red as a tomato from anger, 100% worth it! Already got a contract proposal at another company, thus no worries...
@@samueloh4528 Got my contract proposal signed today, will start at another company by the end of this month. The senior dev I had a chat with today seemed like a very productive and efficient working person, yet showed an incredibly calm personality towards others. I've more respect towards people that want to work smart, calm and efficient, rather than the more standardized dumb way of inefficient working in order to look busy towards management. In my experience, the more that management thinks the company is people centric and equal towards everyone, the further and faster you should run away of set place. These places are often the opposite of what they claim to be and the worst locations to work at. I knew you where joking, but wanted to get my frustration out :-).
@@kalirocketdev that's a pretty vague question, you shouldn't be expecting anyone to just quickly explain those complex issues to you at once, the only way to get good at anything is to do it a lot but if you're struggling you need to be asking the right questions if you want any useful advice
Hey Joma.... You have seriously improved sooooo much in these past years I have been watching content for quite some time now and definitely never felt a single scene wrongly directed or edited.. Or anything.. Great work.
Will be interviewing 3 people next week, I refuse to do this to people. Will ask them basic questions and play at their strengths instead depending on their answers and try to figure out if they will be useful to our team. Random ass problems like this don't tell you shit anyways ... I never understood why companies do this
When I was interviewing to become a data analyst it was pretty standard up until the 2nd interview. First interview was behavioral, second one was basically just going through my resume asking about my experience. When we finished going through my resume, the interviewer got out a pen and paper and drew 5 underscores. He told me to write todays date in 5 characters. I tried to use numbers at first but he said that it’s just a random string of numbers and to try again. I was really panicking at this point and just decided to write the first thing that came to mind, which was “today”. He ended up being very impressed and I was given the job on the spot after that 😂
Because i think that creativity is a keypard of beeing a tech dev. U need of course Logic too for that Job (your answer btw is very Logic with a lot of creativity so you nailed it hahaah) im it student in my 3rd year here in germany
I'm not in the IT sector or industry, but this man is hilarious. Please keep coming up with videos like this. It kind of reminds me of the Matrix scene where Agent Smith first interviews Neo.

I don't know about other companies, but the one I'm at (a very well-known Fortune 500 company), the layoffs are the result of some extraordinarily bad decisions by the top brass over the years. Things like trying to turn traditionally fully-owned products into a service with recurring fees, something that has made its former customers actively hostile and earned the company several lawsuits. Or acquiring more debt than assets. The engineering filter is the least of its problems.
Background monitor showing how to tie a tie. Gold video xD
I love how you can see instructions on how to tie a tie in the background.
Coding interview gave me a total panic attack... And it was take home
😂 imagine if it was in person
@@mohammedahmed1109 imagine if it was a person
Oh man can I relate to this so much. Look at the task, tried to read documentation, couldn't figure out shit.... Thankfully it was due in 3 days
@@1996adis personally, I’m too stupid to mine documentation for anything usable, generally speaking. I generally need “hello world “ and then a dissection on that to then understand a bloody thing in the docs.
All coding portions should be take home. It's miserable to do that in an interview.
"I really appreciAte it". Oh man that smile and the way he said it!
The confusion after is real af.
Glad I’m not the only to feel like they were mind f***ed after one of these interviews 😂
I like how your programming humor videos are actually funny instead of making me think "I get it, but it's not that funny" like most programming humor.
Upon hearing “do you think you can do better” I started having flashbacks and secondhand anxiety
"I am not sure how this correlates to my day-to-day job." Brilliant.
I know nothing abt programming but Jomas videos always make me feel relatable some how lol))
LOL the "how to tie a tie" graphics in the background paired with the messy tie is great
So good! I was waiting for the interviewer to end with "It was OK meeting you"
No one can do this except Joma Tech, We have missed you.
As a cybersecurity student, I can confirm this is exactly how these interviews go
Then things must've really changed. I've been working in the cyber security industry for over a decade, and this is not at all how my interviews went.
@@bin4ry_d3struct0r I trust you more than a student lmao
@@28469 you should not trust anyone here, these are all anonymous profiles and you can not check the truth of the statements. YOU HAVE FAILED THE INTERVIEW! xD
@@28469 actually they're both correct, interviews were pretty different, especially in IT sec... This is more some sort of dev interview, and it depends on how "googlish" the company is (I mean, usually "google wannabe" startups act like that during interviews)
@@dariocoletto8447 if i were to hire a developer i only going to seek that he/she can do at least what i can do, or less but without giving him/her client responsibilities, i do not why people want to hire someone who can count until 15 when they stuck at 5 and the work need someone who can do only at 3 only XD
Love the "How to Tie the Simple Knot (Oriental Knot)" image in the background!
Man! I felt more stressed watching this than when being in a real interview 🥺
This is hilarious !
And people in the comments too! Every comment is very positive, filled with joy, this makes my heart warm, that people enjoy quality content and good humor.
Well done Joma, you got great people together.
Joma is on another level...guy takes my depression away
He didn't even make it to the second round. what a loser...jk.
Your acting is frighteningly good, and the story is weirdly relatable
This...this is the content I come to this channel for. More like this please.
"Great! You're hired!...in reverse! That means you didn't get the job!"
Google was (still is?) infamous for having the most ridiculous, sociopathic, arbitrary, grueling interview process. Supposedly around 9 rounds of interviewing, for positions far below the C-suit level that would warrant that.
!hired
@@stevenedwards8353 hired, but on fire?
Sorry, I'm a Dwarf Fortress player
*don't beat me up for this joke pls*
@@alexeyeliseev6322 ima come beat you up, send me location
doesn't google pays a 200k yearly salary for entry-level positions tho? This kind of recruiting process would be expected then
Entry level? Like right out of school? Good lord no.
If you mean "starting" salary, then Google pay grades don't reach that until their equivalent of senior manager level.
And this interview process has nothing to do with actually finding the most competent worker. It's flexing by sociopaths trying to weed out anyone who won't buy into their tech cult.
I love the image in the background teaching him how to tie a tie
This guy never misses LMAO.
joma you nailed the dramatic effect here
These are normal interviews for me. I've also been asked stupid nonsense questions plenty of times.
This was actually one of the best video that describes software engineer interviews
Yup that’s exactly how coding interviews go 😅
Can you tell me how legit *real* interviews go if you ever did one? Pls
@@alamanashaikh3527 actually friendly without the underlying trying to trick you the whole way
@@thedigitalceo thank you
@@alamanashaikh3527 interviewers are actually friendly but very often give ridiculous tasks and require even more ridiculous explanations. Sometimes even they themselves can't do what they required the new candidate to do
This was actually a classic Joma youtube very original and very funny... Joma is backkkkk...
thats how it feels when applying for a job writing basic CRUD apis and the interviewer asks you to reverse a binary tree lol
And they still pay you nuts even if you passed.
The "but, BUT!" with the hand gestures is such a classic, I didn't even know you can act it out so genuinely outside the situation.
You forgot the part where the company that turned you down now expands their clientele to asia and doubles their revenue in 6 months
the "how to tie a tie" instructions on his monitor killed me LOL
Respect man, you nailed the coding interview memes🤣🤣
That "Ah, ah, ah, ah!" was just magnificent. Chefs kiss
The last job interview I went to presented me with the most convoluted and sub-optimal code example, I just rewrote the entire thing from scratch...
The issue being, my task was to find a small bug that their "senior dev" intentionally left inside the example. He clearly didn't expect someone to ridicule his overly complicated solution to a simple problem, by plain out rewriting it with better performing and easier readable/understandable alternative...
@@samueloh4528 Well, I didn't proceed to the next round... for another reason...
There was a senior dev and HR person in the room during my interview. The senior that was interviewing me was kinda demeaning, to the point where he was deliberately trying to ask questions most people wouldn't be able to answer. The more of those questions I answered correctly, the more annoyed he became.
I still wanted the job, yet didn't want to share an office building with this unpleasant senior person. I asked if they allowed hybrid remote work a couple days a week, to which the senior loudly replied: _"some people can't work from home, nobody works from home. The same laws apply to everyone here!"_ ...
By this point I knew that I didn't want this job anymore. The HR officer asked at the end of my interview how much income I expect, to which I replied: _"What about the equivalent humble income of the CEO, in order to comply with the communistic tendencies of this company where everyone is treated equal."_
They threw me out, I later learned that the senior dev was the CEO. Still, seeing that dude's head turn as red as a tomato from anger, 100% worth it!
Already got a contract proposal at another company, thus no worries...
@@samueloh4528 Got my contract proposal signed today, will start at another company by the end of this month.
The senior dev I had a chat with today seemed like a very productive and efficient working person, yet showed an incredibly calm personality towards others. I've more respect towards people that want to work smart, calm and efficient, rather than the more standardized dumb way of inefficient working in order to look busy towards management.
In my experience, the more that management thinks the company is people centric and equal towards everyone, the further and faster you should run away of set place. These places are often the opposite of what they claim to be and the worst locations to work at. I knew you where joking, but wanted to get my frustration out :-).
@@timmy7201lmfao you did good man
@Jimmy I am starting out in coding. I am a noob. How do I get good in programming and thinking in general to pass interviews? Please help
@@kalirocketdev that's a pretty vague question, you shouldn't be expecting anyone to just quickly explain those complex issues to you at once, the only way to get good at anything is to do it a lot but if you're struggling you need to be asking the right questions if you want any useful advice
I love that “how to make a tie knot in the background” lol
😂😂😂😂😂 "Without saying a single word", brooooooooo
Now tell me again but in reverse 🤣
Hey Joma.... You have seriously improved sooooo much in these past years I have been watching content for quite some time now and definitely never felt a single scene wrongly directed or edited.. Or anything.. Great work.
Not the tie knot instructions on the monitor bro LMAO
Dude , you’re an actor, freaking genius actor 😂
Love the tie knot instruction on the screen
Will be interviewing 3 people next week, I refuse to do this to people. Will ask them basic questions and play at their strengths instead depending on their answers and try to figure out if they will be useful to our team. Random ass problems like this don't tell you shit anyways ... I never understood why companies do this
You do a great work dramatizing a recruiter, I was clenching my fist the entire time.
1:23 he just looks like bruce lee
wow. I'm really impressed with the production quality. This was so well done, it was hard to laugh. Great job.
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Eventually it transforms into "Let's hear your story but in another language which should suit it much better"
Crazy how creative this man is
Jokes aside, this really looks like my two programming interviews that i had, so accurate
The indian accent in between 🤣🤣 “that’s a pretty standard question “😅
Funny video: Now do reduce it to 1:02 minutes keeping the same funny-time ratio.
That"appriciated" in last was personal
When I was interviewing to become a data analyst it was pretty standard up until the 2nd interview. First interview was behavioral, second one was basically just going through my resume asking about my experience. When we finished going through my resume, the interviewer got out a pen and paper and drew 5 underscores. He told me to write todays date in 5 characters. I tried to use numbers at first but he said that it’s just a random string of numbers and to try again. I was really panicking at this point and just decided to write the first thing that came to mind, which was “today”. He ended up being very impressed and I was given the job on the spot after that 😂
Because i think that creativity is a keypard of beeing a tech dev. U need of course Logic too for that Job (your answer btw is very Logic with a lot of creativity so you nailed it hahaah) im it student in my 3rd year here in germany
Keypart*
dude has a tie tying tutorial puled up. man means business.
i have to conduct my first interview tomorrow. thanks for the guide, it's super-helpful!
how did it go
For some reason this was enlightening especially the question "do you think the way you told your story was the most optimal?"
Holy shit this is the funniest video you've made by far. Great job! 😂
A CS Filiming Genius. Keep up the good work.
I'm not in the IT sector or industry, but this man is hilarious. Please keep coming up with videos like this. It kind of reminds me of the Matrix scene where Agent Smith first interviews Neo.
Why does this look like a kind of game narrative designers would play xD
😂great content Joma. Respect ✊🏾
holy shit, you've reached a new level with this video
The wait for Joma's videos is always worth it😅, amazing stuff😊
I love how there is how to tie in the background lol
Just make the interviewer prove that it's possible. Interviews should never be that one-sided.
This is one of the best channels on TH-cam
