Comment Where in the process do they not get offers? (Score 2, Informative) 92
Where I work (in a web SaaS company) we do not look at age as a factor. One thing I have seen though is that older software developers sit in two different camps, they are either awesome and still excel at programming and problem solving or they have stagnated in that department and have been in management for far too long. We have lots of openings for Software Engineer and Senior Software Engineer but no openings for managers as we use self organization and try to avoid layers of management. So the number of openings for older individuals seems lower at my place of work, specifically for those older candidates that have moved on to management positions.
