I felt that with most bigger corporations, where it was a shitload of sometimes very abstract questions, asking the same thing in different words, all that sort of stuff and then having you answer some of that same stuff on video. I guess it's to try and see if you're a good "culture fit" without having to actually meet you.
Then in a smaller company it was a few questions and sending your CV online. I got a call next morning inviting me to an interview, which was very much a "let's get a feel of this guy", a firm handshake, done and done. It felt so good after all that big corporation horseshit.

They seem to view people as "human capital" to be expended with minimal waste, then let go for efficiency when their usefulness has been outlived (or sufficiently replicated by AI)
