Process
Good company.
It started with a phone screen and progressed to online tech interviews. I ultimately backed out of the process, wanting to study more. I hope to give it another go later.

Excellent Place to Work as an Engineer
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
January 9, 2010
Pros: My two main criteria for working at a company are: smart people to work with and interesting things to work on.
Google excels at both of these traits, and I've been completely satisfied all of the years I've worked there. The free food and abundance of other benefits aren't so bad either.
Cons: There's very little that I can think of that would constitute a downside at Google. For those looking for a startup opportunity, it's as close as a big company can get, but still not the same thing (i.e., pitching a project at Google is a lot less stressful than pitching your business plan to a VC).
