From that I would guess Google, who are known to be douchebags in the interview process and in the peer-eval process.
Hell, they admitted as much a few years ago... and claimed they were going to try to be better.
- celdon25 4y agoGoogle told me the interview would be in my choice of language. I chose C#, passed the first interview, then the second interview was in C and was based on language trivia. The kind of stuff you won’t know unless you work with C on a daily basis. Needless to say I was pissed.
- NonNefarious 4y agoThat is right in line with the experience of a good friend of mine. He went on a Google interview, and they said he could solve a problem in the language of his choice. They gave him the assignment and left the room. Since we were at Apple at the time, he was coding daily in Objective-C. So he solved the problem in that. Despite having said "use any language," the guy came back and said, "Oh, not THAT one." And that's not even covering the douchebaggery that reportedly occurs once you work there. Another trusted friend, who worked there for years, reported being forced to rank coworkers with a graphical tool that shows pictures of them... and requires you to move them up or down on the screen to put some above others. It makes it impossible for you to put people on an equal level. This is not from someone who makes stuff up, not to mention that this would be an oddly detailed thing to make up.
