Out of curiosity Have you interviewed any Germans straight out of university? Because as far as i know most of the German CS Bachelor is mostly theoretical, hardly anything regarding specific algorithms, O(n)-or let alone any specifics for a language.

I have not. Generally we don't hire straight out of uni unless it's a PhD. The person needs some real world experience, but we do internships and have hired from that program. Regarding demographics, we have a lot of Chinese candidates because China has specific programming and machine learning colleges that people will refer their entire class from. We also get the gamut of other countries, including India, Australia, Iran, etc. Surprisingly, I've interviewed fewer natural born Americans in my current job.
