I got rejected by Google

Question of the day: What kind of content would you like to see more of?

Professional "Ghosting" is annoying.

Really 5 interviews? You kidding me ? I'll be charging them at the third one.

How I got rejected by google as an ex google interviewee

I have seen quite many people post stuff on coding and interviews on YouTube but for some reason your videos are so fun to watch because you seem to be such a genuine down to earth approachable guy. Thanks for the wonderful content! xD

I'm over FANG and coding interviews. They can be so demoralizing. You're a great engineer. Any company would be lucky to have you.

I've been a developer/architect now for 23 years. No way I would go through all that crap to work for a company. It's demoralizing. I had a Microsoft recruiter call me a few years ago while I was doing tons of BizTalk work as a consultant. He told me they had gotten my name from multiple clients and they really wanted me to consider meeting with them through their local office in the city where I live. I went for my first real interview, and It was actually pretty fun talking with the group for a couple of hours. Later that week they called me and told me they wanted me to attend some kind of "interview day", where I would have a total of five interviews, three of which were technical. I'm thinking "They want me to consider coming to work as a BizTalk specialist. A product I actually was teaching classes on, along with doing tons of development for. And they had already spoken to several of my clients. And I still had to go spend an entire day getting beat up in interviews?" I was like "Screw that!". I just told them I wasn't interested. I'm just not putting myself through that when there are SO MANY other great companies to work for.

That interview experience sounds like dating a girl who had no real interest in you.

keep your head up, you got this man. this was a nice thing to listen to and I needed to hear it. good shit!

Google missed out on a real one

I love how you're always so genuine, deserves a sub

Me searching google: How to apply for a job on Google. Google: No need to apply, we already have your details.

Hey man, thank you for sharing this. You can keep teaching us about coding and through teaching I believe you'll have fun.

Clean video my dude. I learn new little things everytime in your new video. The Google or Amazon interview experience was my first time watching you I think. That slow zoom in after 7:23 though xD

Life Happens....Just a year everything has changed...I like your resolutions about it. Keep up the good work mate

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm so disappointed that even in the best tech companies the recruiters are jerks. There is no reason for them to be unresponsive to the candidates no matter how busy they are. It is their primary job. I'm appalled that they get away with such behavior. I personally had a pleasant experience with Google and Microsoft. The absolute worst experience I've had were with Amazon and Apple. LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Zillow was not far behind. Some of them ghosted me after onsite and some even before any rounds. I think recruiters are the most hated folks in the industry. I don't see any company willing to fix this horrible culture.

I love your videos, you're so friendly and down-to-earth. 🥰

I had almost the same experience when I interviewed at Mountain View last year, down to the one interviewers being super engaged, one not helping at all even with clarifying the problem, being shifted recruiters (my first one was AWESOME and also in Austin, my second one was totally disengaged), and even being ghosted at the end

I have a PhD in Computer Science, and I was rejected by Google. Go figure. They have a CS theory fetish which is frankly disturbing in its intensity.

Thanks for sharing your experience...it's pretty important to know both the failure and success
