I got the same response from an old friend who has worked for Google for the better part of a decade.
FWIW my understanding is that the Hiring Committee tends to discard feedback from interviewers like your latter type here.
- franzwong 8y agoIs there any mechanism like those olympics diving competition? i.e. the highest and lowest score are discarded.
- Spoom 8y agoThey don't do this as a matter of course, but they do look at the question that was asked various factors surrounding the interview. They certainly can and do throw out interviews that don't generate any signal.
- tostitos1979 8y agoI had such an a-hole interviewer the last (and hence final) interview I did at Google. His attitude was ... oh .. you have a PhD, let me show you how smart I am. Just like getting into YC isn't necessary to be a successful founder, getting into Google isn't necessary to be a successful engineer. There are tons of companies out there, and many pay better than Google.
- UncleMeat 8y agoGive feedback to your recruiter. Interviewers can be forced into more training or taken off rotations.
- WorldMaker 8y agoThe one that got to me admitted first thing that he already was told to knock it off, shrugged it off, and was still in the rotation anyway. I didn't feel like giving that feedback to the recruiter would help if it was already known well in advance. That and a lot of other signals in two interview cycles seemed to indicate that the recruiter and/or Google were perfectly happy wasting my time, and I've not really felt like bothering to interview with Google since.
- vonmoltke 8y ago> many pay better than Google Those would be? The only one I have actually seen (claimed) numbers out of that can beat Google is Facebook.
