I've found a lot of companies don't like giving feedback of negative outcomes for fear of opening themselves up to some sort of liability around discrimination.

Realistically it shouldn't be a problem if they handled the interview correctly, but some prefer not to take the risk.

In itself, this is a useful indicator of corporate culture.

Very valid point. Whilst it's not necessarily indicative of a 'bad' company as such, anyone who refuses feedback as a matter of course is generally a company driven by compliance. not always a good thing.

In the UK at least, a company is required by law to provide you with feedback. I would definitely agree with the article here, exercise that right, and gain some insight into how you've been perceived.

Clearly, whether this feedback is useful or not totally depends on the employer, but more often that not, it will be helpful.

I would have thought the opposite to be true.
