Google’s hiring committee has lot of responsibilities. Their sole focus is to maintain the quality. Hiring committee at Google is an independent body.

2. Brain teasers

4. Focus on small things

Google pays very keen attention to minute details. People at Google are taught to master one particular skill, get immediate feedback and repeat the same in course direction. These kind of initiatives have helped Google in figuring out the kind of skills people need to practice on.

5. Pay isn’t fair

Many enthusiast candidates expect that Google will offer big fat salary check but, that is not the real case. It has happened in Google before that, an employee receives a stock award of $10,000.
