What I find utterly sad when I read this is that the rest of the world, no let me rephrase it: the actual world, both intuitively knows this process is wrong and operates recruitment differently.
Engineers of the world don't work at FAANG companies, just a very small subset of them. Engineers who want to work there are like teenagers who were told they must study at an ivy league if they want to something with their life. It's a small club, it is not selective at all, it is just not a club that a lot of people would care to join.
What I find more interesting to observe in this post is the recruiter himself. How he was led to believe an awful community was "better" until he realized he had to escape from it, and now he is teaching something that almost every engineer in the world already knows.
So, yes, I'll upvote this one but probably not for the reason I'm expected to :)
