I agree with you for the most part, but Google goes out of its way to force the interviewer to just hand in an emotionless, gender-neutral description of the candidate's code and coding performance to a hiring committee that makes the decision This kinda bit me in the rear when I applied to Google a couple of times. As a nerdy American male, aged 22 to 40, with above-average people skills (for nerds) I got along great with everyone I talked to. But the hiring committee would get a sloppy page of half-functional garbage code, along with a note like "Seems like a great candidate". I found another FAANG company I fit into a lot better anyway, so it all worked out great
