- dangrossman 15y agoInterviewing for your current job sounds insulting.
- JoshTriplett 15y agoDepends; interviewing to see if you should have a better job seems useful, not to mention the value of an interview as a two-way conversation.
- spullara 15y agoYou can think of it as insulting or that you and all your coworkers are now being held to a higher standard. Generally, I think it is better than the alternative.
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoThe alternative? Keeping your self-respect, and getting another job? Google doesn't hire slackers and fakes; this guy can get another job in a heartbeat. I've refused this 'offer' - Dell wanted to drug-test and interview us when we were acquired - I simply refused. Didn't lose my job.
- wyclif 15y agoIt doesn't just sound insulting, it is insulting.
- ma2rten 15y agoI think you only have to do this if you get a different position within Google.
- apgwoz 15y agoI worked at a company that was acquired. All of the engineers had to interview, and the interviewers weren't aware that it was an acquisition situation.
- falconindy 15y agoThey've been hesitant to call it an "interview", but rather a "one on one". Whatever it is, everyone will talk to Google before being given an offer of employment. Inevitably, some jobs will be lost in the transition. (wow, my weenie little blog on the front page of HN.)
