How to Get a Job at Google (2014)

  They say getting into Google is a lot more tough than getting into Harvard. How true is that?
  • brudgers 9y ago
    The claim can probably be supported by rationalization. Google gets more applications than Harvard because applying has a minimum zero cost. Harvard has a non-zero cost due to application fees. So one scenario is that Google gets many many times more resumes from around the world per hired position than Harvard gets applications per academic admission leading to Google to have a higher rejection rate. Another scenario is that Google simply that Google receives so many more applications than Harvard does applications that Google simply does not hire a greater absolute number of applicants than Harvard does not admit. So basically, not really true at all since Google also has more employees than Harvard has students...and has employees that don't require a US visa, and so on.
