I conducted more than 100 interviews at Google and saw the questions the other interviewers on each panel asked. Google does not ask questions like that.
- ulkesh 5y agoGood to hear. They have done that in the past, though, I've read a few first-hand accounts of it (and sadly I cannot find them now so take it with a grain of salt, of course). Perhaps it was just early-days.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoYes, that's the circa 2005 version of what we have today. If you at least tried you could still get an offer however, unlike today, where the answer must be approaching perfection and timely. Because they are a lot more interested in exposing impostors both real and imagined than hiring.
