Google

I am close friends with current employees at Google, and I personally know the CEO. I figured with that, I could get a job. I was given an interview, but once they discovered I didn't have a college degree from Yale, Harvard, MIT, etc., I was canned

The interviewer was a Chinese girl, and her English was too poor to understand. The interview question was about System Design, like YouTube search. She was not clear, so I kept asking her to repeat.

5-minute self-introduction, including CV, then straight to the algorithm question on Google Docs. The question was LeetCode easy level but not from LeetCode. There was a follow-up question.
