So Google will give you a test if you search for "the right things". It is a test in programming and similar areas and can land you a job if you pass. The tests take place at http://google.com/foobar
Anybody ever get anywhere with this? My buddy got the test once but failed it.
This fascinates me and I'd like to learn more from you guys, if anybody knows anything about it.

I got into it once. I only did one of the problems then stopped because Google would hire me in a heartbeat if I wanted to work there.

What was the problem? What do they ask?

They're a glorified advertisement company.
Also, you probably have a better chance if you're a woman, black, or both.

I remember some blogger writing about his experience with it. He passed the tests, but didn't end up getting the job. Can't remember if he made past the phone screens or not.

It was just a dumb puzzle, mostly math

What I've read is they ask for coding snippets. The one person said he was given the choice between using python and java.
Are you reusing me?
>>55410445
I did mine in python. I still have the solution code here
from math import log
def toList(num):
return toList(num // 3) + [["L"], ["-"], ["R"]][num % 3] if num else []
def solution(n):
return toList(n + sum(3**x for x in range(1 + int(log(n*2, 3)))))

they pay you fuck tons of money through.
they have literally made femminists rich just for having a vagina.

I did this. Got a phone interview coming up at the end of the month.
I just got hired. They offered me $120k. Thanks OP.

Sounds like the very beginning of that Ex Machina movie.

Nah.
Caleb got selected because he had no family to speak of and was more likely to form a personal connection with Ava as a result of it.

Well I'm brown-skinned and am currently undergoing gender realignment. I'll ask them politely to fire you so that $120k is mine. I can't code though, so I'll probably just get some white guy to do it for me.
>>55410376
I've done it. Currently interning there.
