Can't just be me, can it? Currently 0 for 3 on interviews because I can't seem to get past the technical interview/test. Usually because of some crazy complicated algorithm question that's never been relevant to anything I've ever had to do on the job in all my years coding.

Also, while I'm ranting: screw the usual non-answer when given feedback.

Although I agree with you that people shouldn't equate company values and employees' values, I'd say that it could be true, especially if they did work there for long enough.

As for my personal opinion, this could likely be solved by a short questionnaire on why they left the company and what do they think of this and that.

I have never tried to get into FAANG (MAAMA 😅) but if I did, I'd definitely focus more on how to get there, not on why that's a bad idea, so it's not quite correct to judge based on the fact that someone worked somewhere.

As a side note, I had never did a thorough research of companies I applied to, somehow it mostly worked out, but I did sometimes end up in the company I wasn't quite comfortable in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
