At Google, the recruiter who schedules your interview specifically recommends reading books written about passing Google's interviews. It's a little unbelievable.
- virgilp 9y agoI'm pretty sure they're incentivized to find candidates that get offers - not to find "good employees" or anything of that sort.
- danesparza 9y agoI would think there is a Venn diagram with an overlapping 'sweet spot': Good employees are probably more likely to get offers, as are candidates that prepare for an interview.
- expertentipp 9y agoSimilar experience, spent the same time preparing for the interview as for any other company + couple of hours of browsing some slides from university classes on data structures (sorry Google, you are not a special snowflake) - rejected after the first call:)
- michaelt 9y agoIt's a little unbelievable. If they believe they have the _ideal_ benchmark for a good employee, anything you do that improves your score makes you a better employee.
