https://www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-work-at-Google-What... Do you have any reasonable way to convince me and everyone reading your responses that your opinions are more valid than other people who offer contrary opinions? Why would someone take a 50% pay cut and turn down a google offer? There has to be a bigger reason than the one you mentioned. >whoosh. Re-read what I said to understand how I didn’t compare anyone to Trump. I assumed your analogy was used to state that people at google are incompetent and that those who are incompetent can't recognize their own incompetence. The later part may be true in the context of google but I disagreed with the former. Your reply indicates to me that you in fact don't think much of google engineers and that your comparison of incompetence is apt. As far as I know Gayle didn't work to create the interview process, she was just part of the board and now she actively works to help people pass it. Saying that there exists many people who can't pass the google interview will harm sales of her book. I believe it is against her incentive to say it and that she only said it because she believe it's the truth. There is no active lying going on here. |

Their strategy is the same across the board: practice makes perfect (a.k.a leetcode). Don't give up, keep trying.
You are well aware that there's a big industry around interview preps for Hi-Tech BigCos and Gayle herself is one of the implicit founding of this industry right?
Pre-Leetcode/HackerRank the kind of people who got accepted to Google are mostly their kind: ACM/TopCoder and most folks who grew up/go to school in Bay Area because well duh... It's what they do everyday: practicing leetcode style problem solving. The Stanford/UC Berkeley folks got in because well... Interview questions are shared among interns because there's no database like today's LeetCode.
