Many people's understanding of "Google's hiring processes" is from a few articles over a decade ago. They had done numerous studies, switched things up, and now have a pretty solid approach to interviewing.

Google invests huge amounts of money and time into their process and I am repeating a conclusion they arrived at about their own process.
