> If it is about the existence of such policies, go talk to any engineer from Google or Microsoft or Meta or Apple or a hundred other companies down the list. 1) I don't think Google/Microsoft/Meta/Apple are the ones giving take home assessments. 2) I've talked to many such engineers. > There are written rules and trainings about interview conduct at every one of these companies, and they all cover feedback - what you are or aren’t allowed to say, how much you can share. Ok, so what are the rules? You're claiming knowledge here, so please demonstrate it. > At every one of these companies the interviewer doesn’t even have direct contact with the candidate after the interview is done. This varies quite a bit. Also, many smaller companies don't even have an HR department. In any case, when you're doing a live interview, you tend to get some real-time feedback, whether explicit or implicit. It's completely untrue to suggest that interviewers get no feedback. The OP was complaining specifically about take home assessments, where you can't give live feedback.
