There is one, it is right above Blaze cafe (1225 Charleston Rd). There's a huge sign by the visitor's area: "Google Research & Development".

But there isn't really a "trick" here, though. The point of these questions is to figure out if the candidate has enough CS fundamentals to construct a reasonable solution to a problem that they've never seen before.

It works for you but you were most likely interrupting the people around you. I really hate it when I'm deep into coding up something and someone just starts throwing questions at me. I much would rather prefer an IM if someone wants t

This is a very good point. I've been in an open workspace that had three or four people to a desk and it was a nightmare. Now I work at an open workspace where everyone is spread out and it is much better. The closest person to me is

Stupid? You were the one who said that most interviews should only be a one-way street. That you will only let yourself get asked the questions in the article if the job applicant is a top-talent AND your company specifically wanted to re

Yeah, the first three difficulties were really easy. Inferno was like a wall that you run into the first time you try it. I remember kicking Diablo's ass in Hell difficulty and then replaying Act 1 but in Inferno. Came across the fi

yup, that was the main point of frustration with Inferno. white mobs were easy to deal with but Elite packs had disgusting affixes. And then after grinding Act 1 (remember Butcher runs? lol) for about a month, you finally gear up enough to
