Google and GPA
Does Google still check GPA on it's prospective hires, even if you have 15-20 yrs experience?
if they do, why would you want to work there? that's a terrible, bullshit practice.
Why not? They produced coo shit after cool shit. The practice may not work for everyone, but certainly works for a company that receives thousands resumes every week. Let alone the company does need geeks who care about academic shit.
so that's a reason to continue to use interview practices that have been proven to either have no appreciable good outcome or even negative outcomes? even the people who started these amazing companies are rarely high GPA achievers.
No. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-google-hires-people-2013-6
Nope. Even after 3 years of experience they don't check
At the hiring committee level I've never seen it come up for anyone. Recruiters might prescreen though, not sure there
Thanks all for your reply.
GPA is only pertinent if you're <36 months out of school. After that, it's just a small datapoint.
I doubt it. But then, I don't have a GPA
did 5 years ago. part of the packet that goes to Larry. not sure if that still happens today.
