@benroyce@mastodon.social I liked this at first glance, but... Candidate: (if they're a good engineer) likely has an introvert side, and in a stressful position due to needing job, and maybe even a bit of social anxiety. Company: treats interview as an adversarial rather than collegial dynamic, tag-teams candidate with left-right battery, botches experiment (though good intentions), using personnel who are neither social scientists nor actors, uses flawed secret litmus test to deny employment to someone. 😀
