He interviewed me, or I interviewed him, depending on your perspective; but after Google made their offer (obviously, before I decided against accepting it) rather than during the main interview phase. This was largely a response to the recruiter screwing up and not scheduling any interviews for me with anyone in Google Research.
If I may ask, what were your impressions on Norvig after the interview? And on Google Research itself, apart of the recruiting stuff?
Sorry, I don't think I can say much about this without violating the NDA I signed.
Ok, no problem :)

No, every job interview should also be a chance for you to evaluate the company that you might be working for. The interviewer is the best proxy you have access to before you are actually hired.

Your statement is true, but that is not what he meant. He meant, "I found out that I am better than the Peter Norvig".
Fuck, I've turned down job offers. Where's my lollipop?
He meant, "I found out that I am better than the Peter Norvig".
No, that's not what I meant. I don't think I'm better than Peter Norvig; nor do I think Peter Norvig is better than me. Our interests are too dissimilar for any fair comparison to be made.
By "... or I interviewed him" I meant in the sense of a journalist or researcher interviewing someone in order to gain information -- in order for me to decide whether I wanted to accept Google's offer, I needed more information about what working at Google Research would mean, and Peter Norvig was the obvious person to provide such information.
You were interviewed directly by Peter Norvig?
