[quote=Anonymous]Before I realized what a backward company I was in at Freddie, I recommended a friend for an open position through my contracting company. This guy was/is a seasoned Java developer/applications architect who had been through high profile contracting gigs starting with MCI. He had a strong resume Verizon/AT&T/IBM consulting gigs, etc.

He was interviewed by the Indian director and three of his peeps. There was **no** cultural diversity in the interview panel who proceeded to pepper the candidate with the most obscure, irrelevant technical questions you can imagine, at a rapid non-stop pace. To his credit, my friend ended the 'interview' early and excused himself.

The director complained to my contracting company that they were sending him sub-standard candidates. Well, here's the 'breathtaking' part - the successful candidate was Indian, and he was the cousin of a member of the interviewing panel. He was technically weak and his written/spoken English skills were rudimentary.

But this guy was connected and although we were under whip-cracking deadlines by management, our new team member was given a free ride to float off to two hour lunches three or four times a week with his peeps.

There are talented IT pros out there that are US citizens that can't get a break and Freddie would bend over into impossible positions to make sure "H1B" Visa candidates were treated royally. That's breathtaking.[/quote]
