I most certainly do not, hence the quotes :-) In fact, I think it actively selects _against_ the best candidates. Basically, it's optimized to quickly cut out the long tail of subpar employees (per whatever definition they might have), which happens at the expense of those that are unable to pass but would still be awesome (lack of prep, lack of opportunities, anxiety issues, etc) and those that can't be bothered (a lot of experienced folks fall in here). The process might work for the mid-to-upper band of candidates, but anyone outside of that, on either end, is left behind (with exceptions of course). Companies are totally cool with that, because the long tail is quite a problem at that scale.
