Being on the other side of the process has only convinced me more of how broken it is. There are lots of baseline errors, biases, and insufficient attention given to the process that are quite obvious but a lot of people either fail to see them or refuse to see them because they don't want to admit that their hiring process is not better than rolling dice.

As a basic example, in a lot of places you get very little advance warning that you're going to interview someone.

Test problems or assignments are often not tested or even looked at by existing employees, so often you don't even know that your current team would do well on them.

Sometimes interviews happen without any intention at all to hire the candidate (wtf).
