白人也吐槽这个。你看这位自称白人的人吐槽的应该不是老中就是老印吧?
I'm a white guy and I’ve been a software engineer (IC) for over 20 years and truly love the work itself. What I find challenging is the standard technical interview format that’s become so common. I often move to a new role every 4-5 years, seeking better opportunities and career growth and I am often shopping around during the interim. Recently, while lining up interviews, I was given a panel of 6 interviewers who all shared the same non-U.S., non-English speaking cultural background. This gave me pause—less because of their nationality and more due to past experiences I’ve had communicating with the interviewer when there are cultural differences.

Over the years, I’ve noticed a pattern:. 1point3acres.com
1. When the majority of my interview panel are non-native English speakers, especially from certain regions, I’ve always ended up with “no hire” outcomes.
2. In my experience, some interviewers from particular backgrounds place a heavy emphasis on rote memorization of difficult LeetCode problems rather than exploring how a candidate thinks through problems. Asking someone to code a difficult LeetCode problem that was solved optimally as part of someones Doctoral Dissertation within a 20 minute time span, is essentially filtering for people who have sat down and memorized the solution to this problem for the purposes of passing interviews.

3. Strong accents or differing communication styles always lead to misunderstanding on both sides. Repeatedly asking for clarification is enough to ruin ones chances, probably because it makes the interviewer feel insecure or gives them a general bad vibe.
These issues aren’t about disliking any particular group of people. I’ve had excellent interviews with individuals of the same ethnicity who happened to be native English speakers. My concern is that the communication style and format, combined with cultural differences in interview approach, is consistently setting me up for failure. To be clear, I do not struggle to get offers but it’s reached a point where I hesitate to proceed if the panel skews heavily toward non-native English speakers from certain regions.
I’m sharing this here in the hope of getting advice or insight. Do others experience this (and would you be willing to admit this)? How do others handle such situations? Are there constructive ways to address the format or panel composition with a recruiter or to request a more varied group without causing offense? I know this might sound like I’m making unfair assumptions, but this is a pattern I’ve personally observed. I’d appreciate any thoughts from the community. |
