L5 to L6 Scope is Vanishing
Great work-life balance on average (Ads and GenAI teams are worse, though).
Great colleagues.
Great technical support and focus.
You start to become rusty at Google.
L5 to L6 scope is becoming very limited.
Pay increase is slow.
Hire with scope in mind.
Do not lie about the scope.

The interview process was clear and easy. I was able to clear the interview quickly. It was a three-stage interview with a panel of five people. One of the panel members was so impressed, they hired me on the spot.

Scheduling the Google CoderPad interview was smooth. The interview itself was challenging yet stimulating. I was told that I was rejected due to the position being closed out, which was pretty weird.

It was a very long and strenuous interview. Nobody wanted to be here. The manager was not it.
