I applied to Instacart through this list, but won't be going forward with their process. The recruiter, documents that recruiter sent, and further research on Blind, Glassdoor, etc. indicate that they do tech screens through a 3rd party (karat), so you don't even talk to an engineer at the company. Apparently in that screen CS knowledge/topic questions are asked and you're expected to get through 2 leetcode-esque questions in 30 or so minutes. None of this "resembles day-to-day work" to me.
I don't think that this process fits the spirit of this list at all, but at the very least there's a mismatch in the real process and what's describes here.
I interviewed at Aurora Solar a bout 3 months ago. They use a whiteboarding session. Seems like they're calling it "pair programming" but it's not that... the other person just asked a few questions and sat silently as I coded the solution.... so not pair programming. It's a white boarding session.
As part of the hiring process Unito has a paid take home project, and the employee is given access to a chat room to talk about it with other employees who are meant to guide and help him.

1182: Move "pay the candidate for their time" to the top in RECOMMENDATIONS.md r=poteto a=LrWm3
I think paying candidates for the time required to complete take home interviews up to 4 hours in length is a requirement for assigning take home interviews in an ethical manner. Not everyone can afford to work for free for X hours per interview. Given the imbalance of power in an interview setting, asking people to work for 2 to 4 hours for free just does not seem fair.
Additionally, many of the take home interview recommendations are "soft" and somewhat ambiguous. Is a take-home interview 4 hours? are the questions related to the job itself? the interviewer and interviewee may disagree on these points.
however, it is completely umbiguous whether or not candidates are being paid for the time they spend on take-home interviews. companies are either doing it or not. it's harder to handwave away.
This PR moves "pay the candidate for their time" to the top of the take-home interview suggestions list in recommendations.md
