Intern I just hired as a junior compiler dev said he got silence from all applications.
Guy had three prior internships, and great GPA from a top school.
It was a really hard to advocate for his hire because we could get somebody with ten years of experience. And this is even with my policy of ignoring anybody from Google.

- frozenport 3y agoFor me its because they sucked: they had come to depend on a large Google ecosystem and were disruptively process oriented, occasionally "this is how we do it at Google." The expensive thing was also annoying, although we do have ICs making $300k. For director level staffing and people management Google guys were too abrasive, and didn't have their hands in the code - but that is a different story. But anyways can wax poetically about why to avoid folks from Google for days...
