@Mastodon, that looks correct, but Mudd graduates about 80 CS grads a year: https://www.cs.hmc.edu/
Blah, go back and read your post. You wrote they are not recruiting at UCSD and UCSB. Any person who is in the field know that Stanford and a UCB are not the only two schools that Google recruiting at. For the simple fact, Google has 55,000 employees, Stanford and UCB combine do not graduate that many people to meet the demand so they have to hire from some where to fill the need. Go on Quora, where there is a real face to poster, I mean they don’t hide behind a blah screen name to post nonsense. There was on poster who graduated from UCSD and doing a master at Stanford. He said Stanford students have the first dub in the recruiting cycle vs UCSD, like Fall vs Spring. So that’s the advantage to Stanford.
Post #16, I don’t know what you mean by target. Unless you mean like investment banking because CS is not investment banking. Let’s not confused the two.
There are not many PhD students graduated from Stanford every year. I believe for CS they accept about 100 students per year.
Post #16, Even for UCB, which you claim to be is the source of Google hire, this survey doesn’t not reflect that statement.

Post #21, it sounds like your post taken straighten out of tabloid magazine because none of them reflect reality. Just your friend who is a Google head HR. I need name and source please so I can call and verify.
In addition to post #24, here is statistics from Stanford on how many PhD and MS were accepted last year. 71 were admitted for PhD and 50 actually accepted. For 123 were admitted for Ms degree and only 92 accepted. So it’s simple not enough to be a source of hire.

UCSD is one of the top CS programs around. I’d find it very hard to believe Google doesn’t go hard after its graduates.
DrGoogle,
You’re ignoring the number of CS alumni being produced including bachelor’s degrees from Berkeley and Stanford. Not all Google hires are straight out of college or purely grad school for that matter.
Blah, You are unable to substantiate your comment except I have a friend who is a head of HR.
Explain your post #3.
Go back and read your post, it’s hard to really understand what you really saying. First they are not target school,only Stanford and UCB, then not all Google hires are straight out of college, meaning not all Stanford and Berkeley graduates. So what exactly is the tabloid is saying now. I’m confused.
@purpletitan I looked at the Mudd data more carefully. I missed 12 bioinformatics and 14 math/CS entries for CMC as they were not listed under CS…
Now I am up to 61 CS for Mudd. So far, I cannot reproduce the “80 number” from your source via IPEDS…
In any event, Mudd CS is bigger than I thought, but still pretty small by Michigan standards…
I couldn’t help but notice there was only one non-STEM major (music) at Mudd - not your typical LAC…

@Mastodon, yes, Mudd is pretty specialized. And so the ratio is more like 1:4 or 1:5 to compared to UMich undergrad in CS.
I am guessing that one music major started at Mudd, and decided they wanted a major (music) not offered at Mudd. They probably did the majority of their major work on another 5C campus, but they still had to do the whole Mudd core to graduate from Mudd (oof). Point is, music is actually not a standard major at Mudd. That was one-off, 99%+ of students there are STEM majors.
Also, some of the other majors at Mudd (Physics is an example) have an option to complete a version of the major that substitutes some high level CS classes for some high level Physics electives. So you can’t see those in the stats. My kid is a Physics major at Mudd, but did CS research this summer, and is working on a CS paper with a prof this fall and presenting at a CS conference. They are a versatile group, and well regarded in the hiring process at companies like Google.
Dr.google
You seem to have trouble grasping my arguments (which is fair given text can be difficult to interpret as opposed to in person), so let me break it down for you one last time as i am done wasting time.
"Were they therefore really “recruited” out of UCSD or UCSB?
Given I know Google HR leads, the answer is no." - blah2009
Google hires primarily from Stanford and Berkeley in Northern California and from UCLA in Southern California. That is their primary choice, all other schools are secondary in these markets. Caltech is excellent and receives recruiting too, but is smaller so recruiting is not as focused.
“It’s not a major target by any means - although presentations do happen on campus. Google primarily sources from Stanford and Berkeley from the bay and UCLA from the south.” - blah2009
As I stated above, no where did I indicate they only hire from Stanford and Berkeley as you incorrectly argued afterwards.
You then go on to say Berkeley and Stanford CS cannot fill out Google since they only graduate 1XX graduates a year. So does Google only hire CS majors now for the entire company to run the business? Is that what all the Harvard Business School graduates majored in from the article posted in the original post?
Do they also only hire college and graduate students immediately after graduation only? They don’t hire alumni who have worked for other companies?
I can take screen shots of my linkedin showing my friends’ positions and my degrees too. I would expect you to show some qualifications to validate some of your “assertions” or beliefs rather.
Post #33, I don’t know if I can believe a thing I’ve read in your post. But my point is even if you know a Google HR leads, the numbers from the career survey doesn’t bear out. If Berkeley is the main resource then how come they only hire 5 out of the people that filled out the survey. And only 5 out of the EECS and not the LSCS. So obviously they didn’t.
In CS school field is unlike investment banking field, there is no such thing as a target school. So don’t confuse the term or don’t confuse readers of the term. So it’s obviously hearsay.
Regarding your third point that they do hire other non CS people, yes that is assumed but since Google is a software company they hire mostly CS. In fact, at some schools, they are looking mostly for CS majors. This is from the kids whose been to the career fair.
I take it that you have made many erroneous statement in the past regarding other schools, causing a lot of kids anxiety, I’ve seen them coming online to ask about that particular school that you have made discouraging remarks about, just because you are a graduate student from Stanford.
Perhaps you need to stop going online and made comments without facts.
I can give you the email of the Google HR at UCSD to let you know that they do recruit there.
A simple part of the answer is whether Google sends recruiters to USCD and USCB, and how many interview slots they have available. If they are putting in the resources to interview there, it is an indication that they do expect to find a reasonable number of new hires there.
If someone could come up with that info from their contacts, it would move the discussion forward. As is, it is completely uninteresting to all readers except apparently the two of you.

I found this online just by googling. I see a Google table.
https://www.quora.com/How-many-software-engineers-does-Google-have
Now compare that to the total number of employees.
