In the example interview schedule in your blog post there's only an hour allocated for BYO project discussion. Is that representative of your typical interview schedule? The scope of some of your examples in the blog post may be challe

Your candidate-focused interview process is very inspiring! I really like the "bring your own project" idea and it also looks like you've cleverly integrated your product into the interview experience (I'm assuming that

I would start by asking your team lead or manager why the team doesn't use video (particularly for longer meetings like sprint planning), as they may have more context. I expect the daily standup aims to be a fast and efficient status

Aside from freeing up space used by my growing collection of older consoles, I'm not convinced full backwards compatibility for PS3 and earlier games should be a hard requirement for PS5. However, all of my older games are physical pur
