Process
I had a total of five interviews in one day.
There were four technical and one non-technical.
The interviewers may seem intimidating at first, but it's important to realize that they're only there to help.

Smart selfish people
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
April 10, 2024
Pros: Good pay, safe job. They are too big to fail and aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Cons: A lot of smart and ambitious people; some have both of these qualities, some only one. The ambitious ones have learned to game the system and focus on productivity theater versus focusing on making whatever they're working on better. Senior management can't distinguish, and they possibly could be guilty of the same.
