Ohh I agree, but I had an entirely differn't experience.

I went through round after round of interview, passing the interviews without problem. But the team I was interviewing for wasn't able to get the information they needed, because I was just getting general CS interviews, so they kept trying to schedule more interviews.

Eventually Amazon reached out, I had some interviews and accepted a position within 2 weeks. I had to tell Google I wasn't going to do any more of their interviews.

They really need to improve their interview process for specialty positions, it really seems optimized to get recent CS grads into generic roles.

You don't understand. Interviewing at Google is not about recruiting outside talent. It's about making the inside talent feel special when we blow off another qualified candidate.... I was one of those special-feeling interviewers with 32 onsites and zero hires (I recommended 10 by the way). I finally quit that shitshow and left Google.
