More and more it is becoming "standard policy" to give zero feedback. It's quite pathetic to be honest

I have fought the “zero feedback” policies at companies going back ~12 years now. I think it’s terrible but I always lose.

But here is why. For every personal story you have of working with a dev that can’t program, your recruiting staff has 3 of bad/lawyer invoking instances of dealing with crazy candidates. They are being honest with you when they tell you any other policy is too expensive.
