I probably know you, or some of your colleagues. Worked in Mountain View during the late 2000s. I really hated Symbian with a passion, and I was on the Java (and then Qt) side of it. It was embarrassing to try to sell that thing to external developers, but that was part of my job. I was a good soldier though, and ended up writing a few chapters in the worst computer programming book of all time, on how to do JavaME development on Symbian. That does NOT go on my resume.

I bought this book and tried my first mobile programs based on it! I thought it was well written. It was a big hit back then, if I recall correctly.
I’ve continued being a server-side programmer though :)
I worked in Budapest and didn't have connection with the Mountain View site, but I remember some of my direct colleagues talking about it. I think one or maybe two of them did visit it too, so I guess they did work with people from over there.
