[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Googler as well but that doesn't give me any deep insights into which top colleges are most impressive. I can say we have interns and new grads from a large number of schools and have been casting a wider rather than narrower net over the last 5+ years in where people come from (yes, still a lot from Stanford and Cal though).

Focusing so much on a departmental major ranking for undergrad is a mistake to me. It isn't the same as choosing a grad program where you really are sure what you'll study and want to research. [/quote]

I've done talks at Google

It's weird is what it is. If you are used to chats, and q and a's, and being the evening entertainment, and get excited by the back and forth, the Google thing is weird as hell. It's very passive young people on their laptops during the middle of the day. I think I'm pretty good, but Google is spectrum central. I don't mean that unkindly. But it is so different than a typical evening fun event.

At Google in the daytime, you are never anything else but some background noise. And you don't know that coming in. So it's weird and unsettling, even though you may have had a very nice lunch. It's like let's get the dry cleaning done. Or have some lunch. Or listen to some person talk about whatever.

It's an odd space.

I think the Google people are smart people for sure. But geez. I felt like the entertainer that was there to entertain them from 1-2.

And that's not a great space.

Whores

That's my general opinion of Google employees

Nice cafeteria though  [/quote]
