Google has the privilege to treat you like an ape, because they know people will take it to work there. "Dance monkey"! If being spanked like a monkey doesn't tickle your fancy then don't interview there. Interview prep isn't going to make that better.
- sillysaurus3 10y agoAs someone who recently ran the interview gauntlet, the parent comment seems pretty accurate. It matches my experience with interviews at a wide variety of companies.
- majormajor 10y agoMeanwhile, a bunch of non-Google companies think that this must be the right way to do it, so they copy it, and teaching people how to game the system like in the original article give them no reason not to, it just acclimates everyone to playing by stupid rules.
- austincheney 10y agoThen call them out on it during the interview.
- throwaway18917 10y agoYeah, who needs a job or that pesky /money/.
- arvinsim 10y agoSeriously? Looks like a quick way to get rejected, or at least be regarded negatively.
- austincheney 10y agoIf you are a afraid of asking valid questions for fear that you will be rejected god help you. It doesn't hurt to simply ask a question. Now I know there are a lot of weak and timid personalities in the world of development, but once you put that blood into the water usually it doesn't take the sharks long to swarm on it. I have never walked away from an interview feeling dejected for asking the interviewer reasonable questions or attempting to qualify their assertions.
- majormajor 10y agoHeck, I've walked away from an onsite mid-loop because I didn't like the process and it was stretching out and I had a flight to catch, but that doesn't mean I want things to be a "only the don't-give-a-fuck survive."
