How Would You Move Mount Fuji?: Microsoft's Cult of the Puzzle -- How the World's Smartest Companies Select the Most Creative Thinkers Paperback - 2004

by William Poundstone

Microsoft's interview process is a notoriously grueling sequence of questions that separate creative thinkers from the merely brilliant.

First line

In August 1957 William Shockley was recruiting staff for his Palo Alto, California, start-up, Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory.
