I call bullshit. Give me some numbers to back that up. I do 2-3 interviews a week and race is never a consideration. When an engineer is reviewing another engineer's code, I have never ever seen this be an issue.
I do not agree with the parent post, but given the laws in the United States, I would be surprised if any interviewer admitted that race [was] a consideration.
"When an engineer is reviewing another engineer's code.." I agree--but society doesn;t operate like this most of the time. I've been in places where an Engineer's opinions carries little weight on who gets hired.
No comeback--just my personal comment. You guys don't have to agree. My original point is that I wasn't surprised regarding the hiring practices at Palantir.
