#2This 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.

#3Am I the only one who thought this was going to be about the actual interview process for Netflix's engineering team?

Nope.

#5And 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

#6The 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

#7At 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.

#8It'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.

Ah yes, interviewing in tech, from what I hear: ten times harder than interviewing for a C-suite management role at the same company... with no more than a tenth of the effective pay.
Edit: Supply and demand of course.

It would be framed as the capitalist "owning the means of production" and the 3%, if indicative of "capitalists", then are owners of the incoming 3%. The show displays this to some degree where the "interviewers" and the Process treats the subjects as some resource that they are going to own through its "selective process". Is it "anti-capitalist"? Maybe, if it were to criticize the messy reality of the corrupted boundaries between capitalism and humanism.
