I'm curious how the interview process at Google compares to other tech companies. I don't mean the text written afterwards but the actual interview process.
My female friend interviewed at a number of large tech companies, not Google due to it's COVID hiring slowdown, and generally there was at least one interviewer that made comments I never, as a white man, have heard from an interviewer. Not outright sexist but things like (paraphrasing) "clearly you must have only worked on part of this project and not do the whole thing." It wasn't a question "which parts did you work on?" but a direct statement questioning her claim to have done the whole project.
- jonfw 5y agoI imagine most interviewees hear things I've never heard during their interviews- interviews can be a very divergent experience based on company, personality, and experience.
- bradlys 5y agoSounds like something other female colleagues of mine have experienced. Very normal for them. I will say - as a man - that I rarely heard this question when interviewing.
- MyHypatia 5y agoThis has been my experience as well. There are usually 6-8 men on the panel interviewing me. Most of the interviewers are completely normal and fair, but in almost every interview there are 1-2 men who seem to be trying to figure out what fraud I am pulling.
