Google receives a huge number of applications from unqualified people. They take the very few that are Google-level.
- jongjong 4y agoPlease... They trash the vast majority of resumes on the basis of silly things like the candidate changed jobs too often, they didn't study at a fancy enough college or they can't recall a specific algorithm on a whiteboard. It's a joke. They're amateurs. If you're too good, they will feel threatened and not hire you. It's all politics inside these megacorps. Engineers will never allow real talent to be hired on the same team as them... Why would they compromise their position within the company hierarchy? They'd rather only hire moderate talent; just smart enough to get the job done but dumb enough to not get in the way of your next promotion.
