How I (almost) got an internship at Google

Weird story here. MS, Qualcomm, Intel etc. everyone shows up really early @ our school. Google comes 2 months later after the offer deadlines have passed. What gives ? I couldn't even interview because I had to accept another offer.

Compared to MS, Qualcomm, AMZN (I'm headed to MS) Google's process is pretty weird.

Perhaps Google only wanted the people who specifically want to work at Google... Once they have no other choice, Google has its pick of the remaining fish, right?

I wish it didn't play games in recruitment. I had already accepted an internship at Facebook by the time Google called. In the end I'm glad I did, because I really enjoyed Facebook and am going back full time.

Strangely, I've had a different experience. I've heard promptly from Google, but nothing from Facebook. Perhaps they just aren't interested in me, however.
