"Enterprise shame" or how to drive the developer crazy at the interview
It is finished - an invitation came for an interview in a cool company, you have long dreamed of working here. In the job description there is everything from LCA to the gym, a young team of progers and the absence of an accountant Natalia Valentinovna in your workroom. In general, the class! Go to a beautiful office, sit in front of a smiling recruiter, and then this begins:
1. Tell about your background
Beck ... forgive me? Experience, duties at the last place of work, participation in projects and another 1000 and 1 way to ask a question in RUSSIAN. I just want to give the recruiter a Dahl dictionary (because throwing books is bad).
')
2. What software skills do you have?
“Windows, Linux, Mac - where to start?” Is the normal response of a normal programmer. Break the brain to the recruiter and explain that the software in your business is used equally with the software. Great lesson for smoothie lovers!
3. What cases did you encounter?
And here, too, turn on the troll: “I have a lot of luggage in general: leather, velor. But I love backpacks more. ”
4. Have you worked with big date?
If you don’t switch to Russian dialogue, surprise your interlocutor with something like that, for example: “Yeah, in general, I used to be Malvar parsil before.” Well, or heavy artillery: "From the point of view of deduction, induction and brain products, you are incompetent in this matter, since every pessimistically minded individual catastrophically modifies the abstractions of real subjectivism."
5. Did you use Scrum, Kanban, Lin?
“Yeah. And a scrub, and a boar, and a wedge ”- something like this can be heard in the ears of a person who has never heard of it. In principle, a normal question for the company. But you can start with the question "Are you familiar with flexible management methodologies?". And if the answer is “Yes”, ask for what specific methodology your team worked.
6. Check a piece of code and make a pass to improve it.
If the recruiter cannot say “improve the code”, you can safely look towards the door.
7. How do you find your work / life balance?
The feeling that you came not for an interview, but for an appointment with a psychotherapist. Tell us about your inner experiences, clear your karma and bring to balance the cup of work and life. If you have not been listened to for a long time - speak out, and then ask how much you should and thank you for the session.
8. The working day of the development department begins with a rally ...
And immediately the picture emerges before your eyes: you draw a huge poster, go to Bolotnaya Square and demand something there. Everyone, of course, knows what a scrum rally is, but why can't we say “scheduling”?
9. I will send feedback to your email at the end of the week.
You know what to do. That's right, + 1 in your spam list - we would not stand either.
We understand modern office slang and you, for sure, too. But the interview is a dialogue, where you often feel uncomfortable with a normal Russian, and then there is also a check for adaptation in a hipster get-together. Informal communication is always great, especially if you are on the same wavelength with a recruiter and office slang has become native to you. Some guys squall foreign words at the interview can be confusing, and sometimes ruffle. Therefore, if the recruiter caught the word “hipster of the brain” at the interview, and you do not understand anything - feel free to ask to speak Russian-human.
