I think Google prefers false negatives over false positives. I know a few extremely smart people who didn't "pass" their Google interviews. Most likely because they didn't have that "totally positive effortlessly nice and socially easy" vibe.
- leokun 13y agoThat's probably the right attitude to take in hiring. Bad code is difficult and expensive to discover and fix and a bad hire is difficult and expensive to let go.
- reikonomusha 13y agoWith proper code review, I don't think bad code is difficult to discover. I also don't think dismissal is very expensive for large corps. For smaller companies or start-ups, the game is entirely different.
- jlees 13y agoVibe or culture fit, whatever you call it, simply being extremely smart is not sufficient and far too many people think it is. :)
- ahk 13y agoIf that's the only kind of people they hire, where the heck do these kind of interviewers come from?
