Center for Tech and Civic Life interview questions

I submitted the application and my materials, and they followed up a few weeks later asking for me to submit a work sample BEFORE an interview. They claimed this would help "reduce their bias" and "review more applicants". To ask folks to send work samples and materials ahead of even meeting the company, or offering a screening interview at minimum, proves they don't trust their own applicants. I withdrew my application and hope they change their practices in the future.
