Wow, what a dumpster fire.

The CEO coming in here and trying to defend that this is actually a great idea is only making things worse.

I'm guessing they don't operate in Europe, because this would be a massive violation of many European and national privacy regulations.

Maybe they should take a hint from this - the fact that they can pull it off in the US doesn't mean it's morally acceptable.

As owner I would not plan any European trips anytime soon.

If they ever interviewed an engineer from EU then what they are doing is very much illegal, it doesn’t matter even if company is based on USA.

I have the beginnings of a profile there, despite being conspicuously in Germany, because I took the test and applied to be an interviewer.

Too many people think US citizen != EU resident (and therefore not a data subject covered by GDPR)

Engineer in the EU, even if they are US citizens - there are over 100,000 US citizens in Germany, not counting current military or their dependents.

I can't find even the place to delete my account. It seems like it's not even GDPR compliant which is the standard these days for data compliance.
