From my own experience, I have concluded that start-ups located in the FiDi and SOMA have no idea what they are doing when it comes to interviewing and hiring. When they aren't interviewing for sport or to gather intel, they generally don't know what questions to ask to determine if someone is a good fit. EDIT: I've been asked several illegal interview questions, as well.. maybe I should start capitalizing on that.

A lot of people bash Human Resources departments, but they do inject a great deal of sanity into the process when your time is on the line.
