It's reasonable to want to defend yourself and set things right, but I don't think you should be sharing specific notes from an interview where the interviewee had a pretty reasonable expectation of privacy. (unless you already got permission?)



ammon seemed like he made a good choice on balancing what to share and what not to share.


I agree with you, he could have been exceededingly harsh. He shared what he did and overall I'm not displeased, it was honest and didn't make me look too bad (which again, he could have done I'm sure)

On the other hand, sharing my info publically is not professional. I shared what I viewed as unprofessional, without specifics regarding interviewer or even questions. He shared my technical expertise and much more specific details regarding my question(s) and interview.

That kind of goes along with my original point, it seems abrasive and leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Quite honestly, it probably damages their reputation more by responding. Why would someone want to interview somewhere, where they know if they criticize, their interview could be made public.


Sharing anything like this on a public forum is exceedingly unprofessional, regardless of whether the content is positive or negative. If candidates don't have an expectation of privacy, they won't provide honest answers, which drastically undermines Triplebyte's claims about more effective evaluation.

I took the original comment about the interview with a grain of salt(these things are inherently subjective). But it's fairly obvious now that they're as unprofessional as claimed. Hope no one from Apple or Facebook sees this.
