Ok fair points. it really could be a thing when you've already decided and are just playing around the process. But ya'know even when there isn't an inherent bias from race, gender, alma maters and overall like ability, the whole tech interview process still sucks.
The shit soup presented at a coding interview, leetcode or take home style ones are a result of wholesale cargo cult stupidity than malice.
There's no incentive at any level in BigCo. Margins are too big for top level to care. its hard to measure, middle management layer can easily fudge metrics while driving the org effectively into the ground. Lower layer that made it through the filter, sick of this grind and are busy filing tasks sipping free coffee.
The elephant in the room is that you cannot make hiring a process driven activity.
This is org level dysfunction. There's more such exhibits - DEI, promo criteria, ERGs, re-org politics, vendor selection to name a few.
