Ask a Google Engineer - How to Work at Google: Prospective Employee Qualities

March 15, 2017

Watch a 4 minutes 22 seconds video - How to Work at Google: Prospective Employee Qualities?

Take notes:

First round: 9:24pm - 9:28pm


Two extreme cases:

One got Ph.D., but could not write 5 lines of code.

One works over 20 years on assembly, but forgot all theory he learned.

Google is looking for some one in-middle. Theory in their finger tip, and solid experience to write some good code.

We do not want some one working on something specifically. Look at resume about something generalist, put you in any project, he/ she can do very well.

Skills and experience will be very important. But internet world is a disrupt world.

Play well with others.

Something makes you stand out.

A lot of resumes look the same. Write something showing passion for computer science, or in general.

If this person is a millionaire, he does not need to work. If he is still interested to write some code.

If you are not passion about, you will not write code in your spare time.

Good fit, solid experience, you have done something outstanding.

9:28pm second round taking notes


extreme theory experience     vs    extreme practical experience
Work with some one with passion - need someone to work around

If you are not good at, you will not write code in your spare time.

Come from open source world, ....
