Netflix's '3%' Turns the Google Job Interview into a Dystopian Nightmare

Am I the only one who thought this was going to be about the actual interview process for Netflix's engineering team?

This feels a bit clickbaity. As far as I can tell nobody really interviews in this fashion anymore.

The actual content makes it seem like an interesting show akin to Black Mirror.

And here I was thinking, damn if the interviews weren't hard enough .. well good to know they haven't stepped up a whole three notches

The article just makes the series feel like an anti-capitalist propaganda vehicle (which it might very well be, I haven't seen it). The title is also misleading - the article never mentions Google

At least they can become the 3% based on innate intelligence and talent. With tech interviews, you need to come pre-packaged with experience and skill, like those "entry level" positions that want 3-4 years of experience across multiple technologies.

It's arbitrary and seemingly (because it's biased) random who passes Google's interviews. Maybe it's not as bad now, I wouldn't know, but even as recently as a few years ago, it was almost as though they decided who to hire before interviews even began.
