> absolutely none of these things will fly on an interview feedback in any big company

Sure, you never write "no hire because they worked at Palantir". You write "candidate didn't ask clarifying questions about {X} and jumped to answer {Y} which is not what I expect from a candidate of this level, no hire".

....this assumes that anyone at all reads your detailed notes if you submit an initial rating of "no hire", and I have very little evidence from my interviewing career across multiple companies to believe that's the case..

yea totally - in response to someone else's unethical choices i myself will choose to be unethical? because two wrongs make a right? correct?

> this assumes that anyone at all reads your detailed notes if you submit an initial rating of "no hire"

the director of my org (inside of FAANG) reads all of our interview feedback if we make an offer.

My experience at FAANG is that if you get a "no hire" vote, then unless several other reviewers are "strong hire" the candidate doesn't even make it to a committee and is already rejected - and this was before 2022.

[mathisfun123]

that's not what i said - i said "if we hire, then he reads".

[Arainach]

And my point is that if you write "no hire" than the candidate doesn't proceed and thus no one generally reads the feedback.

[onesociety2022]

If you want to blatantly lie and hide your true reason for rejecting them by making up other stuff in the debrief notes, that would be possible. But at that point, you are the unethical person. You can technically do the same thing just because you wanted to discriminate based on race, sex, etc (that would be both illegal as well as violation of corporate HR policies).

[JCharante]

well I'm just glad to find out nobody has been discriminating based on race or sex since that would be unethical

[mathisfun123]

are y'all really repeating over and over "they did it so i can do it too"?
