"I am an excellent developer, with years of experience", but seemingly unable or unwilling to complete a small practical test. Sounds to me like they are good at weeding out the wrong people.

- lawnchair_larry 13y agoWhat makes you think "I work at Google" provides sufficient data to an interviewer such that they should exempt you from their interviewing process? The fact that you have a job somewhere else says very little.

- nappy-doo 13y agoI'm not saying I'm immune from interviews. I'm saying it's proof I have chops. Technical interviewing in a broken process. I've given almost 200 technical interviews at Google, and I've seen all kinds of results. But, I believe Google's results. Having worked at Google longer than anywhere else I've ever worked, I can say that the people are incredible, and it's a direct result of the interviewing process. We interview someone for a set number of interviews (N≤8 nowadays) and we make a decision. I can count on one hand the number of people I think are deadwood. All I'm saying is the "interview" process of having people do projects for you is broken. You will filter out a lot of people with jobs they are kicking butt at.
