Interviewed 2007 at Google it was super fun. I believe there where 4 interviews back to back each was a super neat problem. The hardest one was a walking of the DOM without recursion - this was really hard to express on a whiteboard and even figure out. Interacting with the other engineers was amazing you could tell they were brilliant and it was just overall good energy. The lunch was really good and yeah. I probably would have accepted the offer if I didn’t get scared of the idea of relocating to CA… happy with my choice but still think it would have been pretty cool too… I don’t get why people knock this style interview… I think it’s pretty fun… if I recall at the time they just brought you a problem to work on that was related to what they are working on to see how it’d be like to work with you on the same problem… I hear googles changed a lot since then so maybe it’s not as good energy - but I think working problem solving style interviews are probably the best way to decide if you will be a good fit
