Google hiring committee
Heard that HC approval rates are increasing. Are recruiters more selective about the packets they present to HC? If that is the case, what new selection/evaluation criteria have they introduced?
Or bar is being lowered
I don't think so. I interviewed recently at Google and questions were quite difficult. They were also very interesting problems and fun to solve but too short time in an interview to come up with optimal solution. I think if one solves 300-400 leetcode problems, it's possible to crack G.
Everybody knows you have to solve at least 800 leetcode questions, come on
I was told in order to get to level 8 you need over 9000
Yeah head that too. The answer on quora saying 12 percent is totally nonsense.
Dont think its nonsense. Offer rate on glassdoor seem to be 12% if you filter out all the rejection
Lower bar
Mate, are you suggesting G is the new Microsoft?
This seems the case. Recently saw a bunch of lower rung people join Google.
I've managed out several people from Microsoft who somehow turn around and land a job at Google. To be clear -- these were folks who had zero impact at MSFT. We never thought of them as anything else but lacking fundamental problem solving skills. They spanned PM, dev, test. At the same time, I have a bunch of very smart former colleagues who also ended up there and reported that the interviews were hard. Go figure...
A lot of times the correct background, environment plays a huge role. If I work on WDG, I would be seen as an under performer and will have zero / minimal impact. I work on large scale backend systems and have decent impact.
True. At the same time, consider that these folks walked to be managed out before interviewing with Google. Great engineers generally don't do that. They move on on their own.
Or more people are practicing leetcode and hence gaming the system
