Too Long; Didn't Read
No engineering interview process is perfect and all interviews are at best a narrow snapshot of how well a candidate may do at your company. The take-home coding interview is a longer coding exercise that can take anywhere from a few hours to a day to complete. The algorithms interview is the most classic engineering interview that companies like Google, Facebook, and Palantir like to implement. The bug squash interview can give you signal into how the candidate navigates a large, pre-existing codebase, which some of the other interviews don’t test for.
