More data now:

*Some* white cis men have had technical interview ambushes, but only a few times (or once). *Many* have had expected technicals turn into casual chats.

*Many* to *most* URMs have been ambushed by technical interviews. *Very very few* have had casual chats instead https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/1263537556924198912">https://twitter.com/alicegold...

So, technical interview ambushes seem to be very common throughout the industry, but they are *more common* for URMs and *less common* for white cis men

and it& #39;s likely it happened to your coworkers, perhaps at the company where you work
