You could change the process by being the person who rubber-stamps everyone, regardless of how silly the "process" is. If the person didn't get the PhD algorithm perfect, yet still did a good job, let them in. Anyone who is good enough to be considered for an interview at FB or G is good enough to do the job. That's the truth of the matter. Be the change you want to see-- this somewhat reads as a 'stick-in-mud' approach which may not get your desired outcome.


Most companies track how many people you green light and if you do it too often you may not be given any more interviews.


I was a rubber stamp and found myself in high demand to interview in a location the company was trying to staff up rapidly.


Your internal recruiters must love you


Unfortunately not true. The top of funnel at these companies is not very good at filtering.
