Google used very embarrassing practices during recruitment processes.
These questions were also used to introduce executives and engineers in the mid-1930s to their graduation rates.
But the worst thing a Google human resources officer can do is ask applicants to Google for very difficult questions in the interview, this questions known as a brain teaser.
Gail Lakeman McDowell, a former Google software engineer and author of Google's appeal, said: "The company finally banned these terrible hiring practices."
How bad are these silly questions that Google had explicitly banned?
