> I remember reading something about Google interview ratings being uncorrelated to job performance

You haven't, Googles interviews are correlated to job performance. They have data on it internally, people who work there can look. What you probably read was that brain teasers like "why are manhole covers round" doesn't correlate to job performance.

It was while I worked there that I read something briefly about them being uncorrelated, but it was probably just some popular press miss-characterization. I'd done over 100 interviews for Google SWEs, and wasn't aware of where to look up the data internally. In any case, the article I read wasn't interesting enough for me to do more digging.

I guess I should have been more critical at the time. Thanks for the clarification. Is it widely known where to look up this data internally now? I left Google over a decade ago.

When I was there I just searched it on moma and they had a paper on it showing the correlation coefficients.
