For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

190. First of all, Google doesn't call its recruiting branch HR

None of this is secret knowledge, as far as I know, and comes from my experience interviewing there.

It's called PeopleOps. Secondly, he was contacted by a sourcer, not a recruiter. Again, the Google sourcers seem to have uniform signature tags (I've been contacted about 5 times over the years). You don't get a recruiter until your onsites.

You're not asked to install Google docs, you're emailed a google docs link. If you don't have a gmail account, then you just get a generic google account and log in. Not sure what's so difficult about that for such an AWESOME technologist such as the OP.

I'm highly suspicious he doesn't mention the nature of any of these "trivial" questions. He doesn't mention what he was coding, it sounds 100% made up. "He said for me to just read the answer back over the phone". Just absolutely NO IDEA what he's talking about.

You apply for a certain role, you interview for that. Back in 2010 it was still software engineer generalist and you'd be allocated after interviews. These days, you're funneled into a team or three based on your background and interest because of the feedback they received with people getting allocated onto teams they don't want. Not sure why he's butthurt that he app'd for a technical role and wasn't run for a parking attendant role. Duh.

If he was a superstar coder, it's going to show, communication issue or not. Sounds like Google dodged a bullet by not hiring this racist loser.

And two years later his EEOC complaint is pending? Google gets sued all the time, they receive millions of resumes so someone is going to get pissed. But exactly WHAT is the basis for his complaint? How was he discriminated against?

And yes, the bar is extremely high. There are only 6k employees at the Mountain View office, all staff included. 2500 added in one year across the org is a massive add.

OP also seems to have a skewed understanding of how property tax works.
