[The Java Posse] Group interviews

2011-11-20 Thread Bill Wohler
Speaking of interviewing, what do people think about group interviews? I love them! - As an interviewer. You get to see how the candidate fits into the group. You get to see responses to questions you wouldn't have asked on your own. You get to follow up on questions asked by others. You therefore

I, too, disagree with the OP. The lunch is the funnest part of the interview, both as an interviewer and as an interviewee. It's already been mentioned that it helps to see how everyone clicks as a team. If anything, it is less stressful, not more than in the office environment. -- You received t

I programmed in C for 15 years, skipped C++, and have been programming in Java for nearly 15 years. There are the myriads of libraries in Java that keeps you from rebuilding the wheel. But the main productivity drain that you have in C and likely C++ is the time spent debugging. It seemed that I
