Reddit reviews How Google Works

I don't think it's a technical book, it's described as "an entertaining, page-turning primer containing lessons that Eric and Jonathan learned as they helped build the company. "

Here are all the books with amazon links, Alphabetical order :)

For those of you who haven't read it, I'd recommend this book. A great look inside the philosophy of Google and how they've accomplished what they have. A very unorthodox way of achieving success.

I interviewed for a lower level job there as a jr acct manager - what sticks out in my mind is the question 'explain a time you improved upon an existing process'

if you have the time, definitely skim through this book https://www.amazon.com/How-Google-Works-Eric-Schmidt/dp/1455582344

it has great information on what type of people Google hires, their culture, and what's made them an empire. Super well written and informative.

Best of luck!!
