Google chyba nadal jest jednym z lepiej postrzeganych pracodawców w branży IT. Może już nie chwali się milionami dolarów wydawanymi na posiłki, pozwalniało trochę ludzi oraz zaczyna mówić o oszczędnościach ale nadal jest to łakomy kąsek dla ludzi poszukujących pracy.
O rozmowach o pracę w Goolge krążą niemal legendy – niektórzy opowiadają o testach, programiści mają do rozwiązania zadania logiczne lub też jakiś problem z dziedziny programowania itp. Na blog blog.humanway.com (via Flaker) znalazłem odnośnik do 140 pytań jakie Google może zadać osobą chcącym zająć takie stanowiska jak :Product Marketing Manager, Software Engineer, Engineering Manager i podobne.
Zachęcam do przejrzenia listy, poniżej kilka przykładów – wprawdzie pytania są po angielsku ale rozumiem, że ktoś zainteresowany tą tematyką raczej opanował ten język:
