I do think there is room for discussing pain points - interviewing sucks and I don’t think most people would do it just for fun. I won’t bad mouth peers but I will be honest if certain processes or practices really bother me. But I also raise those concerns as an employee too. Would I say “yeah I work with idiots”? Absolutely not. But I have and will continue to be honest about pain points in a respectful manner. Especially when they are disagreements about things like priorities. I like to let enough of my personality come through during interviews that people know what they are getting. Even if I disagree with you I’ll approach it from an angle other than “you’re wrong”. I care about making things better for people a bit more than I care for money. And I believe we all have a responsibility to leave the world better than it is now. If companies or recruiters see those as red flags I’m ok not moving forward. Same reason I typically don’t hide that I have weird colored hair and tattoos.
