google

From siliconbeat today:

"Google sent out a team of 15 people to Olive's Israeli offices (much of the company is over there) for over a week (staying at an expensive hotel), and interviewed each Olive person several times both in person and by phone interviews.

Google also sent a few Olive people abroad (England and US) for interviews because the Google people who needed to interview them hadn't gone to Israel."

Google sent 15 people to Israel to see Olive. Olive has 100 employees in total, so you'd imagine that their Israel offices can't have more than 75 ppl max. Google sent a team of ppl 20% the size of the team they were going to interview - and then still sent Olive employees abroad to interview with Googlers! Incredible. Well, at least they're consistent in company their company culture. As many of us can personally tell you, they'll take you through 15 rounds of interviews and then reject you. Looks like they do the same with their M&A strategy.
