Went through a very rushed process at Google. Got a verbal thumbs up. Was invited to come in and meet a member from my future team for lunch. Was told written offer was incoming in a week. Was called 2 days later and told the committee rejected my packet. Zero feedback. Was randomly invited to interview for another role a week later which I thought was audacious. It killed any desire I had to work there.

Wow. That’s terrible. How long did it take for you to recover from that experience? My current situation has me so cynical that I’m withdrawing from all my interviews… it’s such a daunting process that I don’t want to go through all this multiple times

I had another job lined up so that was a decent consolation prize, but I've never thought of Google the same way after that.
