Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
First, you start with a pre-screen call with a recruiter.
After that, I had a meeting with one engineer to do some LeetCode-style problem-solving.
Following that interview, I went through another interview that was pair programming with another engineer on another LeetCode-style problem.
After my second interview, I didn't get another interview, but they told me to reapply in six months.
Questions

Great Work, Slow Growth

Pros: I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Google. Compensation is unquestionably good, the work is challenging and rewarding, and the products one works on will be used by millions of people.
Cons: I didn't feel my career was growing at the rate I wanted it to. It's hard to make waves in a 100,000-person company, but the environment was excellent.

Depends on your project and manager; it's hard to transfer

Pros: See your company and maybe your work in the headlines.
Work with some of the best and brightest co-workers in the world.
Work with applications that millions of people use and enjoy.
Great food, good benefits, and bonuses.
Information exchange inside the company is quite open, making it easy to find out about opportunities.
Cons: This can be hard to transfer to a new project, which can lead to the need to excel at something you don't like in order to earn your way out of it.
The opportunities for 20% time are real, but you may not have enough time and energy to make use of them.
Management is often hands-off and not necessarily helpful or encouraging. Find peers to encourage and support you.
