Smart, hardworking teammates; good direct management during my time there; good internal mobility for the most part; interesting stuff to work on.
Upper management started feeling more out of touch (could just be my perspective). I had a hard time playing the promo game and couldn't advance beyond L5.
I asked a friend for an internal referral. A recruiter contacted me within two days. Since I was local and had a referral, the phone screen was waived, and I proceeded directly to the on-site interview. Google offers an interview preparation class.
Difficult, but rewarding to be able to work at one of the biggest tech companies in the world. When you get through, you will see that all your sacrifice was worth it, having studied for this interview.
The interview was conducted via Google Hangouts, which typically has poor call quality. It was unsurprising that the call quality during the interview was very bad. This was the main obstacle and made the interview unmanageable.
