Google is suffering
Google is suffering
omnipresent in lots of markets.
The more an employee's work looks like software engineering work, the more successful they are.
Stable-ish (for a while longer).
Amenities (for a while longer).
Unable to have flexibility with employee careers. HR processes are very archaic. Performance and promotions are totally broken, stagnating. Never grew business outside of ad revenues. Search quality decreasing. Culture and internal experience are declining rapidly.
We give them feedback all the time in Googlegeist, memegen, and posts in Google Groups, and they don't listen.
GRAD is a huge mess. Perf/promo were bad enough before. GRAD is worse. Google is declining.

Software Engineer
Not bad; it was very technical, but the people were nice. I think I learned a lot from the experience and am thankful for the opportunity to have interviewed here. As I am new to the field, this was good for familiarity.
Software Engineer
Couple of Leetcode mediums: string matching, binary search, graphs, stacks, queues, tries, trees. Prepare well for system design, as they will grill you on that. Behavioral questions are standard, as you would expect from your previous job.
Software Engineer
Rigorous, but as expected. A full day of technical interviews with a variety of engineers. Everyone was friendly and helpful, with difficult and interesting questions. A mix of conceptual and programming interviews.
