That agrees with my experience. I got team information yesterday and expect an offer today.
Yes, this describes how I prepared. The questions were not as difficult as the topics Steve listed.
Thanks for your perspective. I should have mentioned this is a software engineering position.
I had seen your earlier comments and asked Googlers how hard they thought it was to change projects. They said they hadn't ever encountered another company that made it easier to change project than Google does, and wanted to know if you had encountered such a company.
I've already shared my existing compensation, and I'm not drastically underpaid. If their offer is not 15% better than what I'm making now, it will make me think they aren't that interested in hiring me.
"Cool" is a deliberately vague metric to get people to talk about what they like/don't like.
Your other questions are good and I certainly won't neglect them.

from the ask-hn dept.
I'm most interested in opinions from xooglers. From what I see it's still a great company and great place to work. Some xooglers seem to think it's lost its luster. I'm trying to collect all opinions; I'm expecting an offer today.
