bad metrics ? maybe according to you but I doubt it according to the person who do the hiring. The people who do the hiring get to the decide what the metrics is and what they considered good/qualified.

Yes, which is not impossible to tackle. There is structured and systematic way to attack it. Tons of study guide and materials on the net to help you. Not to mention tons of people successfully get hired.

I think you missed the point of this interview style. This style of interview is scalable, predictable, efficient and effective. It is useful in that way.

The risk are highly exaggerated, the damage may never occurs in the first place. It may seem unlikely that the bank can keep my money save by using plain text pwd but if they can somehow do that, why do I care. Even in the unlikely event th

Yes I don't care how they do it as long as they can protect my money. Likewise, they may use top of the line, super secure lock but if they can't protect my money, I wouldn't use them.

Yes, if they cause the customer actual damage, such as increased fees then it is a concern. But if there is no actual damage then what's the issue?

Sure, If the doctor can deliver baby safely and not causing any other damage despite not washing hands then what's the issue? That's why I asked what is the actual damage. Is the money is stolen ? Is the money can't be access

Yes, I expect the bank to protect my money. What I'm saying is how they actually do it, clear text pwd or whatever is not really my concern. Why should I ?

Is there actual damage? At the end of day, as a customer,all I care is my money is available (not stolen) and I can access it when I need it. Why should I care about implementation details ?

Fair enough, I would do it as long as I can still find employee, in other words as long as I can get away with it. Likewise, for Apple if their action is not costly enough, they will continue doing it.
