I interviewed at the Google Kirkland office a while back, and I doubt any of that applies in my case. It was the coldest interview experience ever in my life. All but one of my interviewers were either aggressive, dismissive, or seemed to have Asperger’s syndrome. I didn’t feel welcome. One of the interviewers seemed more interested in showing how smarter than me they were than actually interviewing me.

The whole thing was so bad that I don’t think I’d ever like to work there. Maybe I’d go for the crazy money for a few years, but not expecting to work with nice people.
