15 Questions at the interview in Google, because of which you may feel stupid
Google is gaining people again.
This is great news for thousands of novice managers and software developers who want to find a quiet marina on these difficult days.
Now the bad news:
- Google prefers people from the " Ivy League "
- They are interested in your grades (at the institute), even if you are already over 30
- They are looking for people who want to change the world.
