MODERATORS
I don't believe these are genuine interview answers.
The previous candidate to me at a job a few years ago left the room in tears after not being able to write Fizzbuzz. On a laptop with Visual Studio installed, on their own in a an empty room with nobody looking over their shoulders. The same company said they'd had so many candidate, including university graduates, who simply couldn't code, that they were almost giving up on it.
Same, fizzbuzz was one of our tests. Nearly everyone messed it up. The telling part was how. We had a guy with 20 years of experience who demanded ample compensation write code that not only didn't compile, but it made little sense. A lot of people were pretty good bullshitters - then after the test they went "Yeah, well... That went bad huh?". We had a different, more difficult test that people could choose. We had one guy who did somewhat poorly on that... But asked to take the assignment home for his own sake. He was a very god hire. Not because he worked overtime or anything but because he cared.
