I forget that in most "well known companies" they are much larger in size and people can easily hide behind others in such a place. That's where my ignorance comes in. I've been only part of smaller shops where if you aren't producing, you absolutely do not last.

Yet I easily forgot the person with a masters degree that could not pass, was hired anyway, and subsequently fired 3 days later for not improving an iota. I think my frustration is that people like this exist, forcing companies to give the same test to weed them out with no way to skip the question if you can faithfully prove you're not that person.
