Agreed. I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and the environment of the technical interview immediately throws me into a fight-or-flight state.

I've never applied to Google and I never will, because it would be nearly impossible for me to perform in one of their interviews.

When I interviewed at Google it was 2006 and they had a reputation for rejecting nearly everyone. I was still a student! So I rocked up to the interviews calm as calm could be because I didn't believe for even a second that I'd actually get the job and really, the whole thing seemed like an entertaining and potentially interesting mistake.

But I did get the job.

No expectations? No stress!
