Google "employee": 17 secrets of Google employees

There are many interesting topics about Google employees. Although everyone knows that Google's office allows dogs, other situations inside Google have always been mysterious. Last month, I wrote a new Googler experience in Google. This time it was my turn to ask for more information. Please note that I used double quotation marks to introduce "employee" in the title of this article, because Googler will be introduced below, although it looks like a real Google employee, but no one can confirm his identity.

The Googler network name is zorbathut. It looks like a person related to Google Calendar and Google Video projects. In any case, he revealed a lot of Google insiders, which are quite interesting. Below are some of the interesting ones (unordered ):

1. Google's most common programming languages are c ++, Java, and python;

2. Even Google is hard to solve the problem of AD spoofing clicks (AdSense );

3. applying for a position at Google is a long process, which usually takes several months to complete;

4. Google focuses on the skills of candidates rather than academic qualifications;

5. programmers who do not have good control over their own time are not suitable to work in Google;

6. Google employees have 1 Tb (1024 GB) Gmail capacity );

7. If Google employees abuse the login system (such as allowing non-Google employees to access Google's internal network), they/she may be fired;

8. Google employees can try unreleased Google products or services in advance, but cannot disclose details to the outside world;

9. If Google employees do not like to work in assigned projects, they can switch to projects;

10. employees engaged in non-technical work in Google are also respected and valued;

11. There are not many meetings in Google. zorbathut said that he would only hold one meeting each month on average;

12. Google's internal level is very simple: programmers --> Technical Directors --> managers --> department directors --> big boss (Larry Page/Sergey Brin/Eric Schmidt );

13. Google employees are mostly opposed to smokers;

14. Google mostly uses Linux-based computers. Employees have laptops and can choose Mac PowerBook or IBM ThinkPad (Now Lenovo );

15. Most Google employees only use the Linux operating system;

16. zorbathut said that one of his colleagues found Larry Page and Sergey Brin running around the office on a small 4-wheel drive late one night, with the highest speed. A few days later, he ran into the two men again, but found that the four-wheel drive was removed, and was bound to a new laptop and a camera !)

17. Google is extremely difficult to answer questions from interviewees, and never tells them why they cannot get a job;

Whether zorbathut is really a Google employee or not, it's amazing! Even if zorbathut is not a real Google employee, if he can say so many seemingly real things, it also proves that he has a deep understanding of Google.
