    Late rooms tech test

    Has anyone had experience interviewing at laterooms?

    Its looking likely that Ill have a tech test in the form of a Kata, just wondering if anyone has done the same and what the test actually was?

        Not sure if relevant but when they asked me what kind of hotel I preferred I let them know one that charges by the hour with car parking that can't be seen from the street.

              Anyone who can actually use their website should qualify as a pass. It's crap, and if you don't get the gig, you should tell them so.
              His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                  I decline gigs that expect web or written tests as part of the interview process.

                  Would you do that when you hire an accountant or solicitor? No.

                  These clients need to grow up.

                    I recently made three 'Tableau' developers knock me up some visualizations on some sample data I had. They had 15 minutes.

                    Two of them didn't have a clue, the last one made a full dashboard and pointed out where the data was wrong and how they'd fix it.

                    Contactors lie like cheap watches, so a simple technical test is valid.
