The employees you've mentioned should have most possibly the basic google employment requirement: BS or MS... [1]. This requirement from Google exists in nearly all other IT companies. Without BS or MS you cannot have a "long back reaching history" - and thus experience. This is the main objection of Mr. Vredegoor. - I assume that Mr. Vredegoor uses the term "backstabbing" incorrect. Most possibly he meand just something like "back reaching". Possibly he can confirm. btw: I don't understand exactly what Mr. Vredegoor means by "having worked for the man". Possibly he can clarify concisely. - Mr. Martinelli, you seem to know python. May you can showcase how to overcome some of the limitations (limitations in context of the evaluation template): http://lazaridis.com/case/lang/python.html My Best Regards. - [1] (copied from within this thread): """ Requirements: * BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent (PhD a plus). * Several years of software development experience. * Enthusiasm for solving interesting problems. * Experience with Unix/Linux or Windows environments, C++ development, distributed systems, machine learning, information retrieval, network programming and/or developing large software systems a plus.
