I work at Google and have performed plenty of interviews over the years. We're specifically trained not to do this. We have "feedback feedback" in our interview systems specifically for this type of situation.

- wutbrodo 6y agoYour surprise comes from the fact that you're modeling an institution as a single person when it in reality consists of a hundred thousand people. It's obviously less mental effort to reason about large entities this way, but it's obviously much less accurate.
- phendrenad2 6y agoThat's funny because institutions can only be modeled as a statistical average of all of the humans who contribute to a given property of the institution.
- wutbrodo 6y agoUntrue (there's plenty of emergent behavior in large organizations), and ignoring that, irrelevant. An obvious trivial example is looking at the property of consistency in actions: an organization consisting of a hundred thousand people is going to be far less consistent in many sequences of actions than any given person would be.
- pjmlp 6y agoGiven that I gave my feedback about 10 years ago and it keeps happening, something is not right.
