Process
I applied online and interviewed on campus.
I had two interviews back-to-back.
The first interviewer was kind of hard, and the second one was super nice.
Two weeks later, I got another phone interview, which went terribly. I blanked out on the maze traversal stuff completely.
A week later, I got the rejection.

Still a good company, but may not be the best anymore

Pros: Cutting-edge technology, a famous brand, and good food. The good weather here in Mountain View, CA is also a good reason.
If you are tired of the free food here, go get some decent dinners on Castro Street nearby.
You can also learn a lot from tech talks, open days, the MoMA, and the code tree itself. Google's codebase may not be the biggest, but its quality is the best in the world.
Cons: It is a good place for college graduates, but it may not be good for ambitious people. The decision to quit is difficult because of the perks, the good food, and the admiration from people around you when they know you are a Googler. But there is a reason for so many talented people to leave this company...
