I'm not so sure it's different for X=employees, specially when the type of interview we're talking about is more burdensome to older folks, folks with certain personality types or anxiety issues, arguably most women, etc. Why should the burden be theirs alone, while employers get a complete pass on setting up whatever arbitrary hurdles they want?
