Why I Don’t Talk to Google Recruiters
There is no standard way to interview a software engineer. Whenever one of these threads come up we see multiple posters explaining their process, and while each process has it&#x27;s upsides and downsides, no two are exactly the same.<p>For a company the size of Google, with the amount of applicants they receive, I would assume that an interview standard is absolutely necessary. It&#x27;s not perfect, but for 95% of developers out there you know EXACTLY what you&#x27;re going to get when you interview Google. I think there is something to be said about that. Google recruiters tell you what the interview will be like, they give you study materials, and are pretty gracious with scheduling. If you don&#x27;t like the process, that&#x27;s fine, but I think Google in particular has done a good job of standardizing their process. It may not work for individual cases, but I would assume it works well for the company.
