Based on my experience of Google interviews, they seem like one of the companies least likely to discriminate based on age.

Their interviews tend to be very tech/algorithm focused. To the point where they disregard almost everything else.

I would have thought, fast and loose early stage startups would be far more likely to discriminate.

People who have more years are expected to show either "trajectory" or have a compelling excuse. People with fewer years are judged by potential.

Interestingly, there is research that claims that in businesses women are more often judged by last performance, while men are judged more by potential.
