yet more Google hiring randomness

Jan 06, 2006 14:10

So someone who used to work here just went through the Google hiring process. He interviewed with 7 people. He did great with 6 of them and then got some wonky PhD as his 7th interviewee. He managed to get through the first round of evaluation, then got handed off to some internal review board where he was summarily rejected.

He still can't figure out why he got rejected, and quite frankly, I can't either. For job he was interviewing for, he should have been a mortal lock to have gotten an offer.

We are both guessing that the review board looked at the fact that he had worked for two large companies recently and declined him purely on that basis.

Way to go Google.
