Mountain View, CA - Google is infamous for it's extremely technical interviews, requiring job applicants months of hard preparation to get through. These interviews are always conducted by pimple-faced, fresh-out-of-college, 22 year olds who ask absurd theoretical questions that are never used in the real world.
On a dare, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, applied for a Product Manager role in the Google Chrome team. However, he was rejected at the phone screen level. The interviewer commented that the candidate "lacked vision and drive."
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google encourage employees to track the number of rejected applicants - a.k.a. Tracking the Bodycount. "Rejecting applicants, for no good reason, is the only bright-spot some days. I need to dump 5 more candidates before Friday to keep my lead," said a visibly proud Google employee.
Our anonymous source said, "Its ironic that Sundar can't get hired to manage the product he helped create. I guess he is collateral damage in the Bodycount game."
