I had written a large chunk but removed it after reading most of the article. I will go out on a limb and simply comment that I felt the interview where I'm currently at was done correctly, and addressed most of the issues that this article raises. As a note, I was hired as a sysadmin/dba/devops for a smallish startup. They brought me in for a total of ~20 hours of interview, and in that time I discussed work-related topics with every single C-level. I went through a standard interview with questions, and then a longer skill test that included every current engineer at the company. For the last few hours they paired me up with a current engineer to work on some database issues they'd been having. I've been very happily employed here now for around 7 months, and after adding this company to my resume I've had quite a lot of offers on LinkedIn. I feel nothing other than "Oh, this company has offered me an interview, that's really cool!" towards these offers. I think it's one of the best things in the world to have that feeling, and I wish everyone who was hired in an engineer position felt the same way.
