In this world, what happens when a person wants an internal transfer to another team with more rigorous requirements? Does he have to re-interview? Who controls the transfer process--HR or the other team? Will re-interviews be fair, given that the interviewee is being interviewed by people he already knows? What if it happens because of a re-org? Do you get fired if you fail the re-interview?
Companies like google interview to a higher standard that may be required for your initial job with the understanding that you may have to transfer, and firing/re-interviewing is much harder than just setting a higher bar to begin with.
