The process is all backwards. We end up building products we don't care about in cultures that don't suit our personalities, because somehow it's normal that the employer should know everything about you while you don't get a chance to really understand what you're going to be doing for the next 2 years of your life before choosing to commit. We will spend tens of thousands of hours with the people we end up working with. How is it even conceivable to not get to know them first?

Not to mention spending hours or days on recruitment tasks before you know these crucial things.

Plus the interviews that check for how well you prepared for the interview instead of how well you'll do at the job and a ridiculous amount of effort one has to put into digging through piles of position descriptions to find a potentially fitting one because all of them sounds the same and give little to no indication of what to expect.

I think it's really funny to realize that the industry that specializes in building tools to solve problems hasn't come up with anything better yet.
