Hiring Is Broken: What Do Developers Say About Technical Interviews?
I just went through the interview process with multiple Bay Area startups.  Competency and experience don&#x27;t really account for much and it is much more about the companies internal politics. People are thrown in a room without any evidence based HR training to wing it. The processes are ridiculously bureaucratic, in most scenarios you need approval from 5 different people who at any time can decide they don&#x27;t like you for their own personal reasons. Given a 50&#x2F;50 chance with each person, that is a 3% chance of getting an offer. People have no idea what they are doing.
