They lost some brilliant folks as a result. I wouldn't work for them for that reason, as I think the team and the manager are the most important parts of the hiring decision.
That sounds better than Google's "work on what we tell you to" approach.
- mpdehaan2 11y agoWhat I meant here is that you go to the boot camp and then they (what I've been told) assign you to a group. I don't know how much preference you can have. As such, I think it's possibly very similar, though I thought with Google you did get to apply for specific groups.
