Re:Engineers can’t gauge their own interview performance by kajecounterhack on Thursday December 17, 2015 @02:22PM (#10753739)
Just to add another datapoint, some companies don't allow their interviewers to give feedback on how well you did right there. "How well would you say I did in this interview" would not be a question they could answer.

And "How well do my skills fill your requirement?" may not apply for some companies, where their interviewing practices don't look for a specific requirement but go for a more general set of characteristics.

Not commentating on whether this is effective or not, just that it is the case at several of the large companies you might imagine applying for these days.

Translation: The specific requirements aren't explicit.
