As an anecdote, the major consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain), all provide constructive interview feedback after interviews. They do this regardless of if the candidate is moving on to the next level of not.
It's strange that other industries haven't followed suit.
- filoleg 7y agoNoticed the same thing with some finance companies too (mostly those that are known to be tech-strong, however). Got some of the most detailed and useful feedback throughout my years of interviewing from those.
- SilasX 7y agoThat kinda blows a hole in the argument from risk aversion, since they're the definition of risk aversion.
- sk5t 7y agoI interviewed with BCG in college and was unable to extract any interview feedback. Granted, that was some time ago.
- safety-third 7y agoNo industry's interviewing is as awful as ours. The mythical 10x programmer has ruined our interviews. All these companies have it in their heads that you either need a rubicks cube champion or someone with 15 years of Rust experience.
- mdorazio 7y agoThis must be a newish thing. Back when I interviewed with Bain in college the only feedback after multiple interview rounds and social events was "sorry, you weren't as strong as other candidates". McKinsey sent a blanket "no thanks" email.
