>This particular set of questions seems closer to standard non-leadership SRE questions. OK, you've established your credentials, and cast a bit of doubt on the accuracy of everything in the linked post by pointing out a likley inaccuracy about the actual position. But at no point do you claim that the phone screen didn't actually go like that. Nor do you offer defense of a call that did go like that. And isn't that the part of the post that really matters? If that retelling of the call is even 30% true, Google flubbed it. Hard.

> And isn't that the part of the post that really matters? If that retelling of the call is even 30% true, Google flubbed it. Hard. Please take a look at my defense of the retelling being about 80% true, and Google doing exactly the right thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12702726 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12702726 + my reply below The important part is that if this person believed they were being interviewed for a director-level position, and if they actually got new-college-grad-level questions, then something else has gone very wrong already. Either Google flubbed hard well before the interview even started, or this person isn't capable of understanding things that Google recruiters are saying to them, at which point their entire retelling is suspect.
