Was this long ago? Or is the engineering team really small compared to the company as a whole? Google says they’re ~2400 people, seems really weird for the most

Was this long ago? Or is the engineering team really small compared to the company as a whole? Google says they’re ~2400 people, seems really weird for the most senior technical person in an organization of that size to be conducting coding tests with rank and file candidates.
- bogomipz 6y agoNo this was not long ago and the engineering team was large. The company was well over 2K people when I interviewed. And yes it is very weird to have the President of Technology giving coding tests during an interview loop. I met with 6 other senior engineers 4 of which had already gone over coding. Apparently this is his thing though. The purpose of this seemed to be for him to demonstrate how smart and hands-on he was. Their in house recruiter actually called me the day before the interview and said he had to "prep" me for my interview with this person.
