*Senior software engineers

Also there is a 2 year experience gap between female and male devs in that position.

Low level female software engineers at Google are actually paid more than their male counterparts.

However, none of this matters at all, as we have no clue what each employee's output is in comparison to eachother.

On that note, what is the deal with Google HR cold-calling, inviting to apply, and then insisting on a 45 minute brain-teaser before even giving a chance to check if the job and team really fits?

Anyone else have this?

They've approached me twice now, through linkedin or whatever, and just annoyed me.

Manners would be a fine thing.
