What the fuck? Am I a spoiled tech-bro, or does that sound completely insane to anyone else? I would 100% not take a job if I didn't get a chance to talk to my coworkers and future manager during the interview process.

Perhaps you are spoiled (as am I in that regard) but i would absolutely never take a job unless I knew who I was going to be working with and had a chance to ask them honest questions.

Seems like a trap set up for fresh out of college hires. I don’t know any senior developers who would even consider a job under those circumstances.
