Around 2000 to 2005, interviewing was an art. Interviewers in organizations used to look for talent in terms of reviewing their resume, understanding accomplishments, career ambitions, etc and then provide opportunities for top / upper core talent.
Now, between 2010 and 2011, the interviewers have taken a different stands... The interviews as you go up is even more sarcastic and de motivating.... Why would someone ask questions as to what do you think about office politics? Does that even matter? Candidates who don't think about politics start thinking in that direction. Interviewers have started to look for 1 reason to reject candidates however good or experience the candidate may come with.
This could be perceived differently from different angles. The survival of the fittest. Or, the best of the best... who knows? But then, the candidates who are not selected go through a turmoil to understand what went wrong.
I strongly suggest that interviewers give feedback and result then and there... That gives the opportunity to the candidate to fill in the gaps and also to explain if the answers were mis-understood.
