I agree with the summary, the desert game is used to develop team skills
and inspire group communication allowing employees who are not outspoken to
share in the decision making process. But this should not have been used
as a 'one test' for hire decision. If that is so, the Human Resources dept
has made errors that will eventually bring the effectiveness of the
company/unit to zero, when that happens, higher ups will take a look and
heads will roll. but the process can be too long. Mark should be glad he
didn't get the job.
Have a good day.

Why would you want to work for a place with such stupid
interviews in the first place? If they select their employees
based on how they play "Stranded in the Desert" or whatever the
heck that was, then it's probably best you don't work there.
I'm sure the management there is awful.
Stuff like that is a sure sign their managers have too much
time on their hands, and there's almost nothing worse than a
clueless manager with too much time.
Someone needs to send those managers a Dilbert calendar!
I'm sorry to hear it didn't go well, but you should forget
about them and move on to a better company.
