That cuts both ways, hombre. If you're not willing to think about the serious problems with conducting interviews that way, I don't wanna work with you either.

Plus you literally just came out and admitted that it's not actually about measuring technical skill, it's some run-you-through-the-gauntlet "attitude" bullshit. Gimme a break.



This kind of proves his point. All else equal, someone who communicates like this ("hombre", "gimme a break", "bullshit") on the Internet is not someone I want to be working with.


What is the point again? If benign turns of phrase spoken on an internet forum factors into a company's hiring practices in any capacity, I'd say it's pretty much assured that it's a terrible place to work.


It's a very rude tone of voice. It's not a collegiate tone.
