On GDocs? Really? I wonder how good they are without code completion, syntax highlighting, warnings...

Knossos5278yIf that is their hiring process, you probably dodged a bullet not getting that job. Who knows what other fun processes they have!

On Google docs? Seriously? How did you indent, because I remember GDocs causing problems with pressing tabs, meaning you probably were stuck with pressing spaces throughout the code. If you were stuck with spaces, I feel sad for you.

@BellAppLab so good that their app never made it to market. To be fair, any app attempting to target Android, Windows Mobile (as in not Windows Phone 7) iOS, webOS, Symbian and Blackberry OS is probably doomed to fail.

Tisila4158y@Portugueasey you said it!
I once started beta testing a Android app that was in the play store and a month later they invited me to visit their workspace and try to debug some issues I was having on my device.
They are still aiming for Android and iOS and the whole app experience is the result of that, slow and buggy with no attention to material design guidelines.
I was surprised a company was able to create such shitty job...
They even tried to gather users with a Facebook picture challenge, didn't work.

Had an online programming interview for a start-up, writing code into a shared Google doc while on the phone with the interviewer.
Specifically told that I could just use pseudocode, so I did, without worrying about access modifiers, full variable declarations and use of "new" for making objects, or specific type declarations, etc.
Got told at the end that I "lack experience, and really should have defined access modifiers, declared types, and so on, and that they needed someone proficient in Java. That was the first time I knew about their Java requirement.
