Why even stay there with 11 years experience. Unless you’re a shitty server, or it’s in some tiny town and this is the only option, I’m sure you could do a lot better at another better restaurant than waffle house with 5+ years on your resume.
And they deduct meals? Wtf.
… that’s why you do a follow up interview and review their code, and maybe leave some things a little ambiguous to see if they ask you questions (telling them it’s okay to email questions and mostly expected)
Why did you decide to do ABC this way? What do you think about having done it XYZ way instead?
I know you didn’t have time to write a full test suite, but what areas of what you wrote would be best to focus on tests and why?
You can ask them so many things about what they wrote.
That’s like… how it works in the real world. They ask questions to product as they come up, they get questioned on their work in code reviews
Unless you work somewhere where you pair code 100% of the time anyway…
If you just look at it as a pass or fail and are not doing a detailed review with them after, you’re doing it wrong.
