I hope my responses don't come across as damage control. Talking through this stuff is super valuable, we tweak our hiring process almost continuously based on feedback. Sometimes when people have a bad experience, we've just fucked up. Other times, we set the wrong expectations and there are simple improvements we can make.

I doubt anyone will read frustrated comments and my responses and think "oh boy, I didn't want to apply there but that one guy responded and made me change my mind".
