Fake Gurus Exposed


hmm?

I had to look up FAANG. I heard of GAFA, but I never thought Netflix had enough influence.

The Google interviews I had were quite ridiculous, its probably good to listen to people's advise and decide what is good or bad, never to attach guru status right away.

At Google they put me with real weirdos at me, which I guess is a good reason for me not to work there, to look on the bright side. :laughing

This is a tangent, but It's good to warn people that Google may take 6 months to interview you and then low offer you a gutted benefit limited time contract job. Every situation is different.

I think Netflix there is because of the pay.

Yeah Google is notorious for slow hiring process, and "low ball". Although from my experience with other companies and friends who got in to Google is that most do it. Then bump it up if you have competing offers, passed on sites with other big tech companies, or was hot allocated.

Agreed, Guru or no Guru, the hiring process info is useful. I had help from my friends at Google. I think I was much happier where I ended up. Years later I found out the result of the project that they were working on and I was glad I did not have to work on that. I'm a mechanical engineer, FYI.

No doubt, Netflix is an innovator. I have been a customer since yearly 2000. Unfortunately for them, many have joined their market.
