The rise of never-ending job interviews

There’s enough counter anecdotes here on HN when this topic comes up that the wording of your post comes off as tone deaf. You actually seem to believe every interviewer at Google behaves like you, for the same reasons, to the same standards.

“We do NOT”

“You messed up”

“let me be very clear”

“whether you’re able to code”

These types of statements come off as patronizing. If your whole process sounded like this, and if you somehow actually do represent a majority of Google interviewers, then it’s no wonder so many folks have a distaste for the experience.

I tried conveying what I was told when I was trained for conducting interviews, what I've explicitly seen demanded on the interview forms I have to fill out and what I get as feedback from hiring committees. Thus I indeed assume that my opinion represents the majority of interviewers. Whether that assumption is warranted or not, I wouldn't know.
