Google interviewers were never supposed to ask brainteaser like questions, even before the company "admitted" they don't work.
The title is disingenuous, and implies that Google switched tactics after finding out that these questions were not useful, whereas in reality Google never started doing it because they found that these questions were not useful.

- marcodave 8y agoso where are these "interview brain teaser questions from Google" coming from?
- chris_va 8y agoI don't think these questions are uncommon in the industry. I've seen brain teaser questions from Microsoft, for example. I think when people write about them they just attach the examples to something emblematic for marketing, and then it becomes common lore.
