I am still feel pissed about an interview for a job I think I'd have fit in superbly. It would have been fun, and productive. If not for the hackerrank quiz they threw in the front filled with irrelevant puzzles that needed solving under time pressure. I don't have time to spend or willingness to "train" on such puzzles for the purpose of getting a job. I am sure if I had a chance to talk to the team or the engineers, it would have been effective. This bitter experience only amplified my hate for such tests even more. The job I'm at currently, gave me a practical task(similar to the ones I would be doing on the job) and a few days to submit the results/notes of. It was so much more pleasant to walk into a tech interview with such work and have a nice chat about practical technical stuff instead of stupid puzzles.
