Blog. Get that job at Google. I've been meaning to write up some tips on interviewing at Google for a good long time now. I keep putting it off, though, because it's going to make you mad. Probably. For some statistical definition of "you", it's very likely to upset you. Why? Because. well, here, I wrote a little ditty about it: Hey man, I don't know that stuff. Stevey's talking aboooooout. If my boss thinks it's important. I'm gonna get fiiiiiiiiiired. Oooh yeah baaaby baaaay- beeeeee. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe Pc Cheats Max Skills BasketballI didn't realize this was such a typical reaction back when I first started writing about interviewing, way back at other companies. Boy- o- howdy did I find out in a hurry. See, it goes like this: Me: blah blah blah, I like asking question X in interviews, blah blah blah. You: Question X? Oh man, I haven't heard about X since college! I've never needed it for my job! He asks that in interviews? But that means someone out there thinks it's important to know, and, and. I don't know it! If they detect my ignorance, not only will I be summarily fired for incompetence without so much as a thank- you, I will also be unemployable by people who ask question X! If people listen to Stevey, that will be everyone! I will become homeless and destitute! ![]() The latest Transformers: The Game cheats available anywhere in the universe, brought to you by the gamers at GamesRadar.

![]() For not knowing something I've never needed before! This is horrible! I would attack X itself, except that I do not want to pick up a book and figure enough out about it to discredit it.

Hours. Tuesday - Saturday 10-5 Sunday - 12-5 Monday - Closed. 520 8th Avenue, Suite 313 New York, NY 10018. T: 212.579.6111. [email protected]. Me: So in conclusion, blah blah. Did you say "fired"? Destitute?" What are you talking about? You: Aaaaaaauuuggh!!! Me: That's it. I'm never talking about interviewing again. It doesn't matter what X is, either. It's arbitrary. I could say: "I really enjoy asking the candidate (their name) in interviews", and people would still freak out, on account of insecurity about either interviewing in general or their knowledge of their own name, hopefully the former. But THEN, time passes, and interview candidates come and go, and we always wind up saying: "Gosh, we sure wish that obviously smart person had prepared a little better for his or her interviews. Is there any way we can help future candidates out with some tips?"And then nobody actually does anything, because we're all afraid of getting stabbed violently by People Who Don't Know X. I considered giving out a set of tips in which I actually use variable names like X, rather than real subjects, but decided that in the resultant vacuum, everyone would get upset. Otherwise that approach seemed pretty good, as long as I published under a pseudonym. In the end, people really need the tips, regardless of how many feelings get hurt along the way. So rather than skirt around the issues, I'm going to give you a few mandatory substitutions for X along with a fair amount of general interview- prep information. Caveats and Disclaimers. This blog is not endorsed by Google. Google doesn't know I'm publishing these tips. It's just between you and me, OK? Don't tell them I prepped you. Just go kick ass on your interviews and we'll be square. I'm only talking about general software engineering positions, and interviews for those positions. These tips are actually generic; there's nothing specific to Google vs. I could have been writing these tips about my first software job 2. That implies that these tips are also timeless, at least for the span of our careers. These tips obviously won't get you a job on their own. My hope is that by following them you will perform your very best during the interviews. Oh, and um, why Google? Oho! Why Google, you ask? Well let's just have that dialog right up front, shall we? You: Should I work at Google? Is it all they say it is, and more? Will I be serenely happy there? Should I apply immediately? Me: Yes. You: To which ques. Yes?" I didn't even say who I am! Me: Dude, the answer is Yes. You may be a woman, but I'm still calling you Dude.)You: But. I am paralyzed by inertia! John Calipari Addressed Controversial Post- Game Interview.

And I feel a certain comfort level at my current company, or at least I have become relatively inured to the discomfort. I know people here and nobody at Google! I would have to learn Google's build system and technology and stuff! I have no credibility, no reputation there – I would have to start over virtually from scratch! I waited too long, there's no upside! I'm afraaaaaaid! Me: DUDE. The answer is Yes already, OK? It's an invariant. Everyone else who came to Google was in the exact same position as you are, modulo a handful of famous people with beards that put Gandalf's to shame, but they're a very tiny minority. Everyone who applied had the same reasons for not applying as you do. And everyone here says: "GOSH, I SURE AM HAPPY I CAME HERE!" So just apply already. But prep first. You: But what if I get a mistrial? I might be smart and qualified, but for some random reason I may do poorly in the interviews and not get an offer! That would be a huge blow to my ego! I would rather pass up the opportunity altogether than have a chance of failure! Me: Yeah, that's at least partly true. Heck, I kinda didn't make it in on my first attempt, but I begged like a street dog until they gave me a second round of interviews. I caught them in a weak moment. And the second time around, I prepared, and did much better. The thing is, Google has a well- known false negative rate, which means we sometimes turn away qualified people, because that's considered better than sometimes hiring unqualified people. This is actually an industry- wide thing, but the dial gets turned differently at different companies. At Google the false- negative rate is pretty high. I don't know what it is, but I do know a lot of smart, qualified people who've not made it through our interviews. It's a bummer. But the really important takeaway is this: if you don't get an offer, you may still be qualified to work here. So it needn't be a blow to your ego at all! As far as anyone I know can tell, false negatives are completely random, and are unrelated to your skills or qualifications. They can happen from a variety of factors, including but not limited to: you're having an off day one or more of your interviewers is having an off day there were communication issues invisible to you and/or one or more of the interviewers you got unlucky and got an Interview Anti- Loop. Oh no, not the Interview Anti- Loop! Yes, I'm afraid you have to worry about this. What is it, you ask? Well, back when I was at Amazon, we did (and they undoubtedly still do) a LOT of soul- searching about this exact problem. We eventually concluded that every single employee E at Amazon has at least one "Interview Anti- Loop": a set of other employees S who would not hire E. The root cause is important for you to understand when you're going into interviews, so I'll tell you a little about what I've found over the years. First, you can't tell interviewers what's important. Not at any company. Not unless they're specifically asking you for advice. You have a very narrow window of perhaps one year after an engineer graduates from college to inculcate them in the art of interviewing, after which the window closes and they believe they are a "good interviewer" and they don't need to change their questions, their question styles, their interviewing style, or their feedback style, ever again. It's a problem. But I've had my hand bitten enough times that I just don't try anymore. Second problem: every "experienced" interviewer has a set of pet subjects and possibly specific questions that he or she feels is an accurate gauge of a candidate's abilities. The question sets for any two interviewers can be widely different and even entirely non- overlapping. A classic example found everywhere is: Interviewer A always asks about C++ trivia, filesystems, network protocols and discrete math. Interviewer B always asks about Java trivia, design patterns, unit testing, web frameworks, and software project management. For any given candidate with both A and B on the interview loop, A and B are likely to give very different votes. A and B would probably not even hire each other, given a chance, but they both happened to go through interviewer C, who asked them both about data structures, unix utilities, and processes versus threads, and A and B both happened to squeak by. That's almost always what happens when you get an offer from a tech company. You just happened to squeak by. Because of the inherently flawed nature of the interviewing process, it's highly likely that someone on the loop will be unimpressed with you, even if you are Alan Turing. Especially if you're Alan Turing, in fact, since it means you obviously don't know C++. The bottom line is, if you go to an interview at any software company, you should plan for the contingency that you might get genuinely unlucky, and wind up with one or more people from your Interview Anti- Loop on your interview loop. If this happens, you will struggle, then be told that you were not a fit at this time, and then you will feel bad. Just as long as you don't feel meta- bad, everything is OK.
