Recruiter and the phone interviewer were awesome.

Onsites were terrible. No one really cared whether I'd want to join Google. 2 of the 5 interviewers were nice and people I'd want to work with. The system design person was really nice - and very smart.

The first person to greet me from the reception was a bit cocky, arrived 10mins late from the interview time and didn't even bother introducing himself. During the interview he seemed rather bored and was checking out fb on his phone while giving me a tough question to solve - even though I was solving it correctly or thinking along the correct approach, I felt like he had a particular solution in mind. One of the other interviewers brought a tough question and the print out of the solution which he was checking with as I was trying to come up with the solution, or print out of the test cases and checking those in the list after asking me too. If this is the kind of interview questions they want to ask and isn't something the interviewer himself can't think of during the interview, they shouldn't be asking such questions.

Overall I felt like I went to a cool fraternities where the people were more interested in looking down on me and making me feel like I don't exist (first interviewer). It seemed like people wanted to ensure the interviewee (regardless of their years of experience at other important tech companies) felt like their too lucky to be granted an interview. Terrible feeling as a interviewee - none of the other small/large companies regardless of how well know they are in the world make you feel like that.
