\_ Assume wrap-around, then if you just count the characters before each
space, then you get 617 ... 617 is a Boston number. Hmmm...
\_ That's not it. JOBS is your answer. Have fun.
\_ What? 62, not 617.
\_ It amazes me how much computer job hiring depends on doing
puzzles and how little that correlates to actually being
a good engineer. -good at puzzles
\_ It amazes me how tough some of the algorithmic questions are really
tough yet you don't need a lot of brain to do most of the tasks at
Google. P.S. having fun with your fucking perf yet? You enjoying
bragging^H^H^Hself-assessment to standout to get that EXCEED
EXPECTATIONS and to get promoted? -Googler
\_ A good company takes a few brilliant minds and leverages
their ideas. Too many cooks spoil the soup. You get a lot of
second-guessing, overengineering, difficult personalities,
and large egos to handle. If you are too successful you also
have a lot of brain drain as people leave for things more
interesting or to retirement if they have piles of cash.
It's much better to have a few brilliant minds and a lot of
worker bees. I'm not sure what Google is thinking. It's
working so far, but my opinion is that it's in spite of
their culture and not because of it.
\_ obviously, you never worked at Google -Googler
\_ So you think that hiring a lot of brilliant people to do
brainless tasks is a winning strategy?
\_ Yes, because they all get paid the same anyways, so
smart people make less dumb mistakes than dumb ass.
P.S. Not everyone at Google is smart. Most of the
new hires after 2007 are hired out of desperation
as they relaxed the standard substantially. The
quality of new hires has gone down by quantum leaps.
\_ Ever hear the phrase "too many chiefs, not enough Indians?"
Do you think it makes sense to hire a PhD to be the
janitor?
\_ yes I actually do. No one forced the PhD to
eat shit. He/she asked for it, and the company
gets a pretty good deal. And BTW, learn to read.
I already said most of the new hires post 2007
are (*@&($*#@ Indians. The company nearly
doubled between 2007-2009. So yes they're hiring
cheaper and dumber. Apparently, you can't read and
maybe you should join the Indians.

\_ They are all just going to get disillusioned
and quit, so it is bad for the company to have
to be constantly retraining people like that.
I bet you are wrong about the salaries, too.
\_ I bet everyone is wrong. Google 600!!! |
