>At Google there were interviews exactly like what Manara prepared us for: data structures & algorithms problem-solving.

I'm surprised this hasn't become the main point of discussion here yet.

Edit: I mean Google's interview technique, and how people prepare for it

Youtube is the problem. Anyone can put whatever shit they want online, which is fine in itself, but put your snake oil on Youtube and Google's Skynet will expertly find rubes to sell for you and show it to them.
