That sounds a lot like their interviewing style — treating people like cogs by reading from a script. Instead of immediate feedback and interaction the results are sent to a committee for analysis.

It is almost by definition more objective but there isn't evidence it achieves better results. It doesn't seem worth the cost; most people appreciate being treated like people.

It makes sense for a company of Google's size, where there's an endless pool of candidates.

What I don't understand is why so many small companies are eager to copy Google's interview process. It's not for them.
