This sounds like it was written by a complete amateur. "Try and avoid bias" isn't even grammatically correct.
Their part on bias is woefully inadequate. "We’re all human, and we’re all biased, so the best thing to do is just accept this." sounds like they have no idea what unconscious bias actually is.
The worst unconscious bias is "this person isn't like me, so they can't possibly be good." People unconsciously would rather be around people similar to themselves. This creates groupthink and monocultures, and the reason why there are so many issues in tech. They see a candidate who is a female or a different race, and maybe they approach problems differently, and the interviewer rejects this because it wasn't THEIR way of thinking, which obviously to them is the best.
There are many ways to solve problems, and the best interview problems are the ones where people are free to use their own creativity to solve a problem, not regurgitate the exact same CTCI answers ad nauseum.
