剛看到Glassdoor有假的面試經驗分享 - 面試

像一些求職面試經驗網站，glassdoor、career cup、top coder分享的面試題目往往都對很多人有不少幫助，
特別是要找程式設計相關工作的同學。

不過似乎老美也是有些人是那種明顯來亂的，比如說下面這個面試經驗：

Software Engineer Interview


Anonymous Interview Candidate in New York, NY

Application Details

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Google in August 2014.

Interview Details

My interview and hiring process was extremely tiring but satisfactory. I dropped
out of college and cancelled my plans to study in an university because I wasn't
learning anything there. I studied and mastered computer science alone at home
within 2 months. Although I am just 19, I decided to apply for Google and I
wouldn't care if I got rejected really. I applied online and quite suprisingly;
they replied back the next day to set-up an phone interview. They asked a few
question and then told me "Alright, we'll call you again next week." And when
they did that the next week, they invited me for an on-site interview. I met some
interesting people there, and most of them were amazed due to the fact that I
dropped out of college but had the abilities and in-depth knowledge of a Harvard-
graduate software engineer, also because I am just 19. Some guy named Paul came
to me and asked me a brain-teasing question about algorithms and I gave him back
a cheesy, but informative answer and he told me "You're probably going to get
accepted."

During the on-site interview, they asked me long questions and gave me difficult
tests/tasks on:
1. Recursions
2. Dynamic Programming
3. Graphs
4. Data Structures
5. Problem-solving query test
6. Array and Tree
7. Computer architecture (binary search, low level enhancement...etc)

They gave me some stuff related to graphs and recursion to build over, it was
mind-boggling like hell. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I like
challenges, and Google managed to give me those....a LOT of those.

The interviewer's name was Caleb, and he said that I fulfill the criteria of a
Google software engineer, and thus; they hired me immediately. Caleb was a fun
person, I enjoyed being interviewed by him. He also said that I am the YOUNGEST
software engineer in the history of Google, I felt really proud at that time.
He gave me lots of compliments after the interview like "You're an exceptional
person" - Google interviewers are extremely nice and respectful, you don't need
to be nervous around them.

Interview Questions

You dropped out of college, and you're just 19. Do you think you can handle
Google at this age?
I can't handle your question but Google? I sure can.

Negotiation Details

Tiring but satisfactory. I negotiated a $190,000 per-year salary and an $5k
starter bonus.

幾個疑點：
1. 幹嘛說自己程度堪比哈佛畢業的軟體工程師，要是我要吹的話我會說我程度堪比MIT畢業的
軟體工程師。
2. 我不懂Computer architecture，但是binary search 明明就是演算法。
3. Google面試到最後的過程通常如下：
(1) 收面試官的評價，送交招募委員會，委員會跟面試官好像是不同一群人。
(2) 招募委員會通過的話，要選加入哪個團隊，不過好像有些人是先發錄取通知後再選。
(3) 不論什麼時候選團隊，招募委員會之後都要送執行委員會過了才有可能發錄取通知。
(4) 據說每個面試官都不知道別的面試官的評分，所以沒可能誰可以直接做決定。
4. 本薪19萬無任何股票，你19歲所以給19萬是嗎？這些矽谷的公司基本上都是同職等本薪差
不多，是股票跟紅利在分高下的，所以這個消息是假的可能性很大。
