Acceptance rate after Google on-site?

I've seen that 0.5% of Google applicants get hired, but thats of all people. What's the approximate acceptance rate after an all-day on-site tech interview? Just curious

Anecdotally I'd venture 10-20%. That's what I've seen after 3 years of experience as L5/L6 on many interview panels. Curious what other people's guesstimate is on the acceptance rate.

Probably 1/3 from my experience.

It's 20% in engineering, don't know about the rest of the organization

10-20% sounds right. I'm non-eng.

Does 0.25% make you feel better ;)

20% is what I've heard as well

I don’t see how 10-20% is an acceptable rate. Seems like you should be able to phone screen a ton of people to slim down the numbers. Tech interviews processes are getting absolutely ridiculous.

There's a tradeoff there that's been carefully considered by Google: stricter phone screens increase the number of false negatives due to using only a single difficult interview data point per candidate to make a decision.

we sometimes do two phone interviews, but phone interviews are usually just to weed out the obviously horrible ones
