Heavy nepotism in teams. Be careful during the interview process- recruiters are very lazy, hiring managers are disconnected and team members are fighting for a title.
What area and what role? I’m applying there soon.

Hey now, they guarantee me home phone services every time I ask for Internet
Sample size of one, people. It’s abnormal to have all good communications and interviews at all candidate companies. Recruiters are over-burdened. That can look like lazy from the outside, but not the same thing. HMs are busy af - as we all are - b/c there’s so much going on. Once you’re hired, you’ll see this, too. Do a few people fight for titles? Yes. Does everyone? No. We’re working. What’s up w/ the nepotism? Explain please? Examples? How did you see/notice it as a candidate? Promoting their favorite ppl? Or, hiring from their previous experience? I see that desire in a few HMs, but I’ve seen 2of3 times that didn’t work out (newhire left despite the connection) rather quickly. This is a problem worth solving. (The one who remains sounds like a mini-tyrant.)
Not saying that you can't comprehend or don't already do this - but look into Dwight Eisenhower's views on prioritization....important vs urgent tasks. IMO, the quality of a candidate evaluation process is likely the absolute most important process that an organization can undergo. The urgency of some day-day responsibility cannot thwart the biggest goals of the business. However, in reality the only workplace incentive is usually urgent tasks
Description of current state != endorsement of current state. ;) I don’t set priorities for recruiting or Labs writ large, man. Trust me, I would do more than re-prioritize hiring.
Aren’t you talking about most companies...?
