The company is firing on all cylinders: building a great product with disruptive technology that customers love in a huge market, executing incredibly well in operations, marketing, and sales, and reaping the rewards for all of that, truly exceptional growth that few companies in history can match.
The company is too big to really be a startup any more. I'm not sure it would be as good to join now, given that the inner circle/clique of early employees is already pretty well set.
Success is not foreordained. We can still screw this up. Turn up the paranoia and turn down the arrogance a bit.
It's true! Just like other interviewees mentioned, it seems they are interviewing just for fun's sake or to train their engineers. I went onsite for a two-hour interview, one coding and another design. The coding question was purposely very hard. I
The interview lasted the whole day and involved speaking with approximately five different people. In each session, the interviewee had to solve one or more technical questions using the whiteboard. The questions began with easier ones and progress
Met at the career fair, where all interested students had to take a small quiz before even being considered. Then had an on-campus interview about concurrency and synchronization. Finally, went on-site in Mountain View for two technical interviews
