How I failed Google and Facebook internship

In the United States where Google and Facebook are based, internships are restricted to students. Everywhere, internships can provide a professional network that is useful throughout a person's career. The article describes the author's window of opportunity prior to conscription.

In the large it suggests aspects of Google's and Facebook's corporate cultures that may limit the opportunities of candidates from less normative backgrounds.

It is unfortunate that the author views the outcome as their failure despite Google and Facebook more or less pre-ordaining the outcome.
