Is the interview process similarly standardized for managers?

If so, how are they "objectively" evaluated?

Do chemists recite the periodic table backwards in interviews?

I don't pretend there's never any bias, but I'm still not convinced you get any less, or any better bias with the whole hoop-jumping algorithm day-long whiteboard thing.

As has been noted elsewhere in the comments here, ours seems to be the only industry that does this to itself.
