Interviewing at google was the absolute worst experience I've ever had over two weeks:
First interview was a cold call from a bored sounding engineer-turned-recruiter. The guy asked me some questions and some I didn't know at the time, but since my experience was pretty solid, they scheduled an interview anyway.
They forgot the first interview. No call, no email, no answer from emails, etc. It's not a first, so I took it as, "shit happens".
They forgot the second interview.
The third interview finally happened, but the engineer on the other end of the phone was ~extremely~ uninterested from the beginning of the call. How in the hell am I supposed to be excited for the interview or even working with someone like that?
To make matters worse, all three interviews required me to leave work early. Because that's obviously not suspicious. Never got a call or email or apology after that ordeal.
"Welcome to Google, we hate our lives, want to hate yours, too?".
