My name is John Welth, I'm a manager in Google Inc. I will be the first to admit that it is my soft skills, and only partially my programming skills, that has got me to where I am today at the manager level.

Many people have criticized Google’s (GOOG) management for losing market share in China to local firm Baidu (BIDU)
after initially taking a commanding share in the browser market. In
surveys my firm conducted with Chinese youth in Shanghai between the
ages of 18 and 24, over 80% said that they used Baidu as their primary
search engine wit...

Apparently, scoring an interview with Google—and making all the way
to final stages of the evaluation process—is enough to get some
attention online. That’s what happened to erstwhile blogger Peteris
Krumins, who summed up the challenging telephone and in-person
questions and relatively posh life as a Google applicant like wit...

Was removed by author's request. But you can still read original story of BadMagicNumber experience in google interview.
A little more than two weeks ago I had an on-site interview at
Google in Mountain View, California! The job interview with Google was
an interesting experience and I want to tell you about it. (I got the
green light from Google to publish this article).
The position I was interviewing for was a Google SRE. SRE stands for
Site Reliability Eng...

Before showing up at the interview, google the company and the person you are interviewing. It only makes sense.
If you want to really impress the interviewer come prepared to ask
questions about the company and the interviewer. If the interviewer
blogs, read the blogs. Find any company oriented blogs via technorati
or bloglines, and read t...

This is the last part of posts describing my own experience interviewing with Google. You may find the first interview here and then follow the traces until this last one.
Time
had already passed (almost a month) after three successive interviews
with Google and this last one was most probably the critical one. I did
not prepare for this as m...

we had arranged.
The conversation began with an interesting question: "What would you change in the Java programming language?"
This has...

The first Google interview is most likely the easiest one.

that you have some knowledge of computers and you are not just the guy
who believes he deserves a place in Google because he can make nice
Powerpoint presentations. At least happened in my case.
A guy
