We're currently interviewing folks based on coding tests that we provide them with. My concern is that I've been finding that some candidates that seem less than stellar from talking to them actually perform better than other candidates who seem pretty bright but because they likely haven't been grinding on leet code or similar site (usually because they're working), aren't performing as well. That said, coding is the most critical task of our engineers. Should we accept people who code better at these 40 minute algorithmic riddles? The position is for junior to mid level engineer.
