I really wish companies would be more transparent about their candidate rejection reasons. From this day on, I was even more disappointed — both with myself and tech hiring process — rejection,rejection, rejection. It honestly feels as if I am a complete failure and an unhirable candidate.

Me too. Your article is resounding, and I am quite frustrated myself, but with the additional fact that there is this massive movement denying the existence of females in tech and minorities in tech in general….

What I find even more frustrating, is that a lot of my interviews aren’t usually technical, but rather overall dismissive or demeaning. At least they ask you questions and seem interested in your technical aptitude…I’d rather be thrown at a white board and asked to solve a real problem than to be probed with an insulting single question like “We wear hardhats and steel toe shoes here. You okay with that?” and a half hour rant about the company to get a rejection letter months later…rejected for what, I still don’t understand…At least being rejected for not knowing something is better than rejected for no clear reason at all.
