No. But if you haven't attended one of their secretly selected Universities... then you won't be shortlisted.

They are a client of mine, but I've never been employed by them.

No, but I've dealt with them. They were insanely paranoid, with NDAs for everyone. My client was a very big (potential) account for Google, massive in fact, yet every step Google had an "our way or the highway" attitude.

No but I know people who do, and spoke to a few of their recruiters at various Linux conferences

Insane selection process so I hear, and as others have said its death-by-NDA, great fun to work for once you are in though

I know someone that does. But not well enough to find out the information I suspect you are after

Google

Has anyone worked for them?

No, but their algorithm's a work of genius and I'm surprised that they didn't win the Fields Medal for it.

I thought NickFitz had?

I worked with someone who said they had attended been called to interview with Google.

They were shown to a waiting room. In there was a big table of that Lego with batteries and motors. There was a bunch of other such 'toys'.

He sat there quietly for 20 minutes waiting to be called. The someone came in and said "Thank you, you can go, you failed."

You are supposed to "show curiosity" by playing with the toys, apparently.

I don't believe that!
