##Google Interview Questions: Product Marketing Manager

• Why do you want to join Google? -- Because I want to create tools for others to learn, for free.

• What do you know about Google’s product and technology? -- A lot actually, I am a beta tester for numerous products, I use most of the Google tools such as: Search, Gmaill, Drive, Reader, Calendar, G+, YouTube, Web Master Tools, Keyword tools, Analytics etc.
• If you are Product Manager for Google’s Adwords, how do you plan to market this?
• What would you say during an AdWords or AdSense product seminar?
• Who are Google’s competitors, and how does Google compete with them? -- Google competes on numerous fields: --- Search: Baidu, Bing, Duck Duck Go

SQL Injection

Never interpolate user input directly in a SQL statement.

Don't:

User.where("name = #{params[:search][:name]}")
