It doesn’t matter. It’s about looking for candidates who have put in the time for your stupid hazing ritual. It signals on people who are willing to dedicate a lot of time to meaningless endeavors for the sake of employment.

This type of individual is more likely to follow orders and work hard - and most importantly - be like the other employees you hired.

Once upon a time, the "stupid hazing ritual" made sense.

Now it means company is stupid.
