You ain’t kidding. Getting interviewed by an Oculus computer graphics software person who had never touched SSH in his life was quite an experience coming in as a potential production engineer circa 2015. And, on top of it, he was quite rude about it and held me responsible for not understanding anything I was saying even though he was basically interviewing a lumberjack or a fireman from his perspective, anything but a colleague.
Clearly a barrier that should have been there. He had no business being in the room and didn’t know how load balancing worked, even though he was asking me about it. Four strong hires and one no hire, which I know because the recruiter told me, so I could do the math. Also expressed no desire to fix it, so I sense it was an intentional move.
That was the last time I ever spoke to Facebook though I do appreciate the annual “hey, want to try again? for realsies this time?” email that tells me accept rate hasn’t recovered from the big crater I heard about. I’m glad it worked out the way it did but I wonder how many people got to experience that type of skillset mismatch as your orgs were merged.
