15% of Sales from the store power the NightlifeNOLA Scholarship for the youth (High School & GED students) in New Orleans. This is a way for the community to place some cool art in their homes at the same time as help fund scholarships for students that need them.
I was not denying the possibility that the policy exists. Im 100% sure it exists @ Google. I wrote the article because I think they need to change their process and their policy. I do not expect them to. There are standard agnostic responses that you can give. For example, if there 5 predetermined responses that you could expect finishing the interview. Your feedback would fall into 1 of 5 of those choices. I was denying that just because you have a process to give feedback automatically opens you to a lawsuit. Lawyers could create the responses in advance that would prevent liability. I agree open ended feedback would open Google up to lawsuits. Right now, they have a binary feedback system. Yes/No. I'm saying adding there's a way to add 2 or 3 more options to their current feedback system without being liable. It is possible.
There are much more efficient ways to find engineers that build high quality applications. I wish you good luck my friend. I hope you do get the job honestly and I'm sure they are a great company to work for. I think it's easier to get hired on through an acqui-hire. My suggestion is don't waste your time trying to impress thrm. Build an application. Get some users. Monetize it. Or move out to Silicon Valley to get a taste of being an engineer at fast paced startup. If you spend the next 12 months solving problem sets versus building applications I think you will havd fallen into a trap. Hopefully not. The title of the article does provide some shock value...I'm sure there are dumber interview processes.
That's not true. They could have easily told me I need to work on my Javascript, understanding of System Design, etc. There are many ways to deliver agnostic feedback. I don't blame them either. My mother is a lawyer...I have a pretty good understanding of liability. Were talking about engineering reviews. You can easily say..Douglas your code would have run way too slow.
