Simply put, this was horrible and insulting. I am 100% sure I will never want to work for Google after this experience.

• The phone interview, set up for a management position, was cancelled twice due to no-shows from Google's end.
• We finally connected on the third attempt. The interview was aimed at junior college grads with very basic, textbook fundamentals, having nothing to do with actual operations or production systems.
• At the beginning of the interview, the interviewer put me on hold to yell at people outside his office but left the phone on, so I could hear. This was very unprofessional.
• I mentioned to the interviewer that this was for a technical management position. He told me, "We do not directly hire managers at Google," which was an extremely arrogant reply. There was a huge communication problem from the Google internal recruiter who sought me out.
• It became clear early on that I was speaking with an inexperienced technical programmer who had no idea how to interview. I could only figure he was conducting a stress interview. Typically, you do not do this right at the beginning.

Halfway through the interview, I realized I didn't want to work there and ignored the follow-up requests.

1. Complexity... are you kidding me? Is this a college grad course? Most questions will be based around data structures and algorithms, even though this has nothing to do with a day-to-day job (I asked what a detailed typical day was during the process).

2. DRBD and HA/heartbeat Linux; the interviewer was way outside of his depth and didn't fully understand clustering. I refrained from correcting him when he started down the wrong path with questions.

3. Write a script on the fly type of questions. Again, nothing to do with actual operations. Make a script do this to a string of words. Make a script do this to groups and user accounts on a Linux system. This was on a live Google Hangout; no Vim, no Emacs... cannot use your function library you've built over the years; exactly how NO ONE programs anymore.

4. Not one troubleshooting question.

5. Not a single past action review question.
