Google denies qualified people all the time. They would much rather reject a great hire than take a risk on accepting a mediocre one. I feel for him but it's just the nature of the beast. Not everyone will get in.

This language sounds like chauvinism leading to closed-mindedness and efficiency. Of course there are tradeoffs to chauvinism, as Googlers possess the mind to notice. But a Googler does not need to worry about saying ambiguous truths without understanding their emotions to the masses, for they have Google behind them. With the might of the G stick, they can hammer out words with confidence.

I've heard this before. Why do you think algorithm questions are effective for finding "good" hires? Are they?
