Dear candidate. Thank you for your review.
Since September 2015 our interview process changed a lot. Nevertheless I’m still convinced that a software developer should be able to compile code up to certain point. For example, passing variables by reference or by value causes different results and will not be caught by your development environment.
Asking questions in an interview situation does not show a lack of knowledge. It is the common way to get an overview about the candidate’s skills. If you have further needs to discuss on this topic feel free to contact me anytime directly. I’m happy to answer any question (florian.ramsbeck@erni.ro)
