All engineers I've met at Google are extremely talented. The total compensation is high. Millions of users. Free lunches.
It's easy to feel that you're just a cog in a machine.
It was a great interview, with many relevant questions about my experience, but also a couple of mind-tricking questions, all of which I solved! Needless to say, it is easy to see why the company is so famous for its recruitment process.
Applied through a referral. The whole process took over two weeks. I was contacted by HR to schedule an on-site interview. The on-site interview consisted of four 45-minute interviews, each based on deriving an algorithm to solve a problem.
After one round of phone interviews, the recruiter told me that I would be a great fit for another team. However, I didn't quite like that role after speaking with another recruiter.
