well, it worked

Samsung uses Codility.

I actually just took a Codility screen for the first time via Samsung. I really love Codility over the screen-sharing of other remote code screenings where it is awkward and somewhat traumatizing to have to code while someone is judging your work, especially if you stop to think for a while and don't want to think out loud.

> All we actually did with Codility was fire off the links, reject candidates who ignored them or stared at the problems without making a serious attempt to solve them, and interview everybody else.

That sounds pretty good.

The only problem in my experience with Codility was the way Samsung (and other companies?) was using it. I had 3 different problems to complete in 90 minutes and was not allowed to see my score at the end. I didn't get to attempt the third problem because I ran out of time on the second one (though I completed the first very confidently in ~20 minutes) trying to track down an error. A couple minutes after time expired, I received an email notifying me that I was not a fit for Samsung.

Oh well, if Samsung is looking for quick programmers predominately, then maybe I'm not a fit. And maybe the person responsible for letting all of memory be 666 is.
