Good money, unsustainable WLB
Good money, unsustainable WLB
Great pay, cool benefits (though most of the really cool stuff like the start week conference, parties, Christmas gifts, etc. were cut during COVID and never came back), beautiful office, some really great coworkers.
Expect constant 140% effort. There's no flexibility for part-time or sabbaticals when burned out. The manager was terrible with people (though not the case for everyone). They were constantly cutting corners and used people's data unethically. The work stack made everything 20x more difficult (unable to set breakpoints to debug, just had to "know" which files to change and how to fix them).

The interview process at Google for me consisted of a technical phone interview. It was a pair programming interview where we shared a Google Doc and worked through various programming questions.
