Caltech's CS interview prep course

My understanding is that googlers typically don't know/care what role the candidate is applying for (outside of maybe the hiring manager round). There are arguments both for and against their methodology.

Personally I think there's a strong correlation between necessity and hiring quality (i.e. if teams really need the help, they typically engage candidates more meaningfully than the Google-style clinically impartial methodology)

That makes sense.

Sounds a bit like what my old timer buddy says.

Google's KPI is hiring talent away from competitors who physically live in the San Francisco bay area. And the ads/ML teams that they drench in their 1%ers.

Everyone else is window dressing.
