Google Not Code Complete
Google Not Code Complete
Work is used by a significant user base, millions of users.
Poor balance between delivering fast and maintaining/reducing technical debt. Develop and release quickly, then only fix serious issues.
Allow honest peer feedback.
The financial impact of peers raising concerns, even suggestions for improvement, is so great that employees are only soliciting feedback from those that provide only positive feedback.

Google Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
First, an online assessment, then the HR call, then several rounds of technical interview (you need to solve data structure/algorithm problems), and finally a manager interview (mostly behavioral questions).
Software Engineer (Internship)
I had two online interviews with their software engineer. They first asked me about my research at school, and then we started the coding question part. The difficulty of the problems is around medium to hard on LeetCode.
Hardware Engineer
I was invited to have an interview with two engineers for the Google Watch team. I had two rounds in one day, 30 minutes apart. Each round took 60 minutes to complete. They didn't tell me the result for two months, and no feedback was provided.
