    Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m very happy to have someone who has tried Zenva training courses comment so others who see this can make an informed purchasing decision.

    I am disappointed to hear that the quality of the courses was poor and that you didn’t have a good experience with them. I also hope that the quality will have improved during the time since you last tried them.

    Certainly it sounds like these courses are not worth the $50 MSRP. At least in this bundle each course would be about 64 cents instead which gives me more room in my heart to forgive any poor quality.

    I haven’t had to do a coding challenge like this for any position I’ve applied for. I think I’d personally find it quite offputting and impersonal even if it was a lot shorter than 30 hours.

    For my current (graduate) position I had two interviews. After passing the first interview I was invited to a technical interview. There I had my interviewer give me tasks such as creating a recursive function to print out Fibonnaci numbers and to create a linked list. This felt better for me as the interviewee and I imagine this had benefits for my employer too as they could see for themselves how I worked through the tasks.
