And with the process changes in the US (and EU), candidates are now given the option of picking the team they want to join (which can be different from the interview-HM's team).
The hiring process for corp employees makes the practice the article is claiming very, very, very hard to do.
There's bar raiser, there are 2-3 additional interviewers, and the hiring manager. The initial voting process is blind. The HM would need to be very very good at convincing the BR+others in order to hire a candidate that they don't want (this is assuming no one wants the candidate).
Plus, there are a bunch of other incentives countering you to hire someone that you don't want - it costs money, it eats up your allocated headcount, and it's going to take a while for you to onboard the new hire, which is going to eat up your team's bandwidth.

I don't think this is a PR piece, and most likely it is not approved by the company (the reference about Jeff's Sex Life would've been removed). This does feel like a real view from an insider, it's very opinionated, and not all of it is right.
All on the eve of thanksgiving.
Even better, they're doing that outside of the 2B fund.

e.g. when you overstay less than 6 months, you get "blacklisted" - it becomes hard(er) for you to get a new travel visa, but more importantly, even if you do get it, every time you try to go to the US you get taken to the backroom
I always see in the product page an info saying "THIS SELLER DOES NOT DELIVER TO IRELAND"

there's a lot of money being made in ICO's
even if we include the health insurance, it's still only 2k in taxes out of an 8650 income (less than 25%)
a lot of countries in europe will tax you 40% for that income...
