That’s what happens when you hire strictly off of algorithms questions with zero behavioral questions. How they thought that wouldn’t destroy the company culture is beyond me.

- dang 7y agoPlease don't post unsubstantive or flamebait comments here.
- hnuser123456 7y agoI respect your decision, but I must say I think it's substantive and true, and I don't think it's flamebait. Happy new year.
- justicezyx 7y ago> That’s what happens when you hire strictly off of algorithms questions with zero behavioral questions. LMAO... I never saw anyone mention nerds being careless about culture. It was always executives. How can you get such a conclusion ...
- empthought 7y agoGoogle engineering management are all “nerds...”
- zozbot234 7y agoTechbros maybe. Not nerds.
- Laakeri 7y agoThey have hired with algorithm questions since the beginning and started with behavioral questions in 2018...
- gowld 7y ago"strictly off of algorithms questions with zero behavioral questions" was how they hired the people who created the culture. The culture being criticized are execs. I don't think Thomas Kurian and Ruth Porat had algorithms interviews.
- daxfohl 7y agoHiring off of behavioral questions is exactly what opens the door to abuse.
- zozbot234 7y agoThe problem with behavioral questions is that the people you don't want to hire are precisely those who will answer those questions in self-serving and self-deceptive ways. To guard against this, hire and promote interesting, accomplished folks. Not necessarily "nerds" or "geeks", but people who have some achievement, something genuinely worthwhile to show off. If anyone can do this, Google can.
