I get the general feeling that people on both sides of an interview want it to be exactly what they want it to be. That never happens. There are problems with the way tech interviews are conducted now, and we should aim to fix it. But human biases will always apply just like every other thing in life. My rule for interviews (whether as an interviewer or interviewee) is simple: 1. Explain/ask for the exact process and stages during the first call. 2. Raise any concerns as soon as possible. 3. Be ready for either outcome - if your concerns are reasonable and addressed, go ahead. If not, don’t.
