I've seen people who otherwise did well at the coding parts of the interview not get an offer because they came off as a jerk, and no one wants to work with a jerk.

There's way more to hiring decisions than raw engineering talent. Teamwork matters a lot too.

Ironic, considering 3 of my interviewers during my last on-site with Google were complete jerks.

That sucks. Remember, you're interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you.

For what it's worth, all my Google interviewers were nice.

Interesting. Two of the interviews in my onsite loop at Google felt test; one of them was incredibly disinterested and unhelpful - by far the worst interviewer I've ever had.

I haven't bothered with Google this time around - combine the risk of jerk interviewers with the glacial pace of their interview process and it's not really something I'm interested in doing. And that's not even considering any personal reservations regarding the Damore firing or the massive payout to Rubin.

Give that feedback to your recruiter. Committees can tell interviewers to get more training.
