Pros
I don't know anything. Everything has changed.
Cons
In my 20-year career, I have never witnessed a more ridiculous corporate hiring blunder. A candidate at EROAD was explicitly tagged as "no hire" by an interviewer, yet somehow advanced to the next round anyway. To make matters worse, that same skeptical interviewer was invited to the panel meeting, only to be humiliatingly kicked out mid-interview by a higher-ranking manager who wanted the candidate pushed through. The candidate was ultimately hired, leading to the ultimate corporate irony: the original interviewer was forced to report to the very person they had rejected. Unsurprisingly, that reporting line didn't last long, and the interviewer promptly resigned.
