I would expect Google to reject that proposal flat out. They are incredibly keen on process and in this case the process feeds into one of their core ideas, namely that hiring the very best is crucial. Unless you are a major figure within the industry, they'll insist you do it their way, full stop.
- onion2k 10y agoGoogle today is operating as if they're Google 10 years ago - back then they were an incredibly exciting company with more potential than practically any other business if you were a talented developer. That really isn't the case now. Google are still phenomenal, but so are other companies now. Google can't say "do it our way or you get nothing" when a good potential hire will be interviewing with half a dozen or more other 'unicorn' companies, especially when those other companies are doing world-changing, ground-breaking work whereas Google's core products are mature, essentially finished things that lack that excitement.
