I have no proof of this, but I'm just going on gut feeling and what I see.
And that is tech companies are flush with money, this free for all party vibe, entitled employees, and super young employees with companies that probably started 10-20 years ago tops. Some much younger.
So what you got in my opinion is wild west corporate cultures, zero buttoned down processes, and hardly any older vets who've been around the block to put some structure in place. If tech people are too afraid of buttoned down banking company policies, that's fine. I dont expect sneaker and tshirt wearing techies wearing business casual clothes to the office. But every company needs some professionalism.
These companies all seem to ramp up hiring so fast going from 0 to 10,000 employees there is no way any company can sift through the heap of candidates without getting nailed with shitty employees due to needing to hire asap. In established companies where they might hire a couple hundred every year, some roles take forever to fill. They can afford to take a slow approach as they got enough people at the office already to fill in. And even then you still get shitheads hired doing a detailed long hiring process.
If that HR tweet you posted is true, what a laugh. I've seen mistakes at my companies from people not BCC:ing people but thats for non essential emails. I've never seen a mistaken HR email sent to the wrong people when it comes to important stuff like employment.
Then again, maybe the lame brained HR person at Twitter did that on purpose to fuck up the company more. You never know with tech workers since they seem so volatile.
