Yeah maybe you are right on that point. At Google at least the filtering by stage seems to be: Recruiter phone interview: do you speak English? Technical phone interview: have you ever programmed a computer before? Technical on-site interview: do you know a few things about data structures and algorithms?

What's funny is that Google seems to think they're really good at interviewing -- for example, see this Washington Post puff piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/an-i... Possibly they are, but it's hard to see solid evidence one way or the other. I guess they can't be really bad in the sense of hiring mostly bad candidates, as that would surely cause big problems before long. But they could be about the same as other big bay area companies.
