Technical experimentation, discovery, and musings.
Welcome back! Let's continue our dive into some issues that we see trending in the hiring process at companies as changes continue to disrupt the industry. We began our journey identifying the issue of companies failing to recognize talent that exists beyond FAANG engineers. In this post, we will look at another common issue: mishandling interviews.
