Based on the fact that you only have 15 minutes to complete the test, it's not advisable to try and find the correct pattern because while you'll find that pattern, you'll be running out of time to do other questions, which will result in a FAIL for you, The most important thing in this step is your guessing ability and ability to guess right Moins

Both times i tried, i got into top 7% with CCTA test. The only thing that bothers me is presence of Qs that require really good English level (C2+). I didn't know meaning of words "inculpate" or "denounce". This is the strange part of this test. This is unfair to compare engineers that are non-native speakers with ones that are and decide on their cognitive abilities based on knowledge of some rare words. Moins

Hi Teona, Thanks for your comment. Your words could not make more sense, as you described the essence of what an interviewing process should be all about. Team fit, attitude and skills. The problem is that this is exactly what's was missing in your interviewing process. You can't possibly evaluate a candidate fully in 1 hour while at the same time forcing them to abide by your streamlined process. Seems to me the interviewer was looking for someone who was exalt like him in every geeky aspect. He was heavily biased towards his own experience and judgement of his preferred professional profile. Now that it's not an issue per se, you are entitled to choose what best suits you as a company and there is no perfect way of running a selection process, I reckon that. But dismissing my entire experience acumen in such a short time and sealing the quick judgement with a condescending suggestion within an area completely outside my career path was, at best, a waste of my time. My comment was intended to create awareness for other colleges who also struggle with mediocre interviews in London. If they happen to for the pet peeves of the interviewers they may do just fine. One final remark. It doesn't help your point, which again I respect but not share, when you throw a sarcastic comment about how the word "awesome" is only used for the Grand Canyon. A proper use of sarcasm would rather be to say that"awesome" is everything my interview experience was not. But I would take that back, as my experience is different from others and I'm sure I can't generalize my opinion of your company based solely on a deficient interview and a reply without the adequate reflection. If anything I'm happy I didn't join a company that doesn't appreciate an honest feedback and who passive aggressively bashes them. Moins

Dear Candidate, At Zuhlke we use a short pair programming exercise to help us understand a number of things about a candidate, including: - How do they think about coding – how much of what they do is habitual rather than principled, and how much do they consider the current context as it changes? - Can they quickly learn to adapt to a set of constraints, i.e. the particular way we ask them to perform TDD? - Do they have good design instincts, and can they recognise poor (or sub-optimal!) code? - Would we be prepared to spend a day pairing with them? - Do they think as quickly as our engineers tend to? - Do they have a sense of humour? We would expect that anyone who makes it to that stage of the interview process would be able to solve the ‘academic problem’ itself, quietly by themselves given sufficient time – but that is not the point of the interview. As a rule, our engineers work in tightly knit teams with extensive use of pair programming and TDD. Anyone who can’t perform well in such an environment will not be a good fit for us, and we will not be a good fit for them. Further, someone who is slow to recognise poor code quality and does not take the chances offered to refactor it is not a person we would consider suitable for an architect role. At Zuhlke the architects provide technical leadership through coding. A final comment: We try to give constructive feedback and answers to questions, whether or not applicants are successful. In this case we suggested that a DevOps or Platform Engineer role might be the best way to maximise your income in the current job market, as these skills are in high demand and your wide range of experience would be an asset. The word “awesome” was not used – this is strictly reserved for the Grand Canyon. Moins

I have attempted 45 and I was expecting around 35 to be correct. so maybe 70% would be passing the criteria Moins

Dear Managing Director Tridonic I guess you are missing the point here... The goal is to describe the process, and not complain about the outcome. Fact!, No feedback whatsoever in the first application and your timings aren't exactly correct on the second one. And for the record; A binary yes or no answer at the end of the process that long, in my opinion, is not quality feedback about any candidate strengths or weakness . Note: Please do not use my personal data addressing me in public platforms. I Wish Tridonic all the best, Moins

Yes that is what I have been offered, ridicolous amount of money for that type of role. Moins

The main difference is the scope var is scoped to the next function block and lets scoped to the next enclosing block Moins

Memory (RAM), Battery, Storage, Bandwidth, & Screen Size (assuming it has one). One could argue CPU as well, but that is less so these days, although a designer of a mobile device needs to balance all of these resources against battery life. Moins
