I recently interviewed with Google and their recruiter's, presumably copy-and-pasted, spiel included the following footnote:
"Steve Yegge (former Googler) talks about his interview experience and "How to Get that Job at Google" in his blog post here[0]."
Which I found strange given that (A) Steve wrote it 10 years ago and (B) he's more recently written[1] that "The main reason [for leaving] Google is that they can no longer innovate."

- casual_slacker 8y agoI was sent that same post when I interviewed 5 years ago. I wonder if they have data indicating success of interviewees who were sent that link. If nothing else, the recommended book "Steven Skiena's The Algorithm Design Manual" is very good to prepare for the Google interview.
- loosetypes 8y agoRight, I was commenting less on its utility as a prep. resource than how it seems, to me, either stale or incongruent on Google's marketing front.
