Google

I was not looking to switch jobs, but I was contacted out of the blue by a recruiter on LinkedIn. I was happy with my job, which I held with the same company since college graduation (10 years). However, I decided to give Google a shot. If anything,

Great – very smooth and professional. I didn’t waste my time or feel rushed. The interviewer asked a lot of questions and opened the floor for my questions. I can’t say better things about my experience! I didn’t get the job, though.

Everybody that interviewed me was generally pleasant. There was lots of emphasis on puzzles, which I tend to enjoy but don't find to be very effective interview questions.
