In my experience, lunches are usually the time of the day where the candidate can relax and take a break, and they usually have lunch with the person that referred them, precisely to make them more comfortable. Of course, it's an interview day so there will always be a little bit of interviewing going on, but it will certainly be more on the social side during lunch than hardcore coding problems. And even if this is not true overall and the lunch is an entire part of the interview day, so what? Solving coding problems while eating is really not that different from solving them while not eating. I'm not really understanding your anger here, do you think the candidate should just go have lunch by themselves for an hour and then come back for the second half of the interview? -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
