- Anonymous July 24, 2014Good interviewers *NEVER* expect a fixed solution (unless fizbuzz or something).
They see how the candidates attack the problem, consider scenarios, refine solutions when faced with feedback (self/from interviewer).
Besides, what does interviewing for the job even mean? At-least in big companies like Google people move around projects etc. Does that mean they need to be re-interviewed?
Interviews are designed to test your learning and problem solving ability (along with attitude, culture fit, maturity etc): the core stuff (the rest like proficiency in jquery etc is fluff that easily learned on the job by a candidate who excels in the core skills).
Algorithm questions help in gauging learning/problem solving ability and since some familiarity is expected from each candidate, this is a reasonable approach to interviewing. Of course, a caveat is that they should avoid picking questions from sites like these :-)
