I have an interview with Google this week. I've expressed my interest in security to the recruiter 3-4 times and I have been told I will be interviewing as a software engineer (aka....a data structures and algorithms interviewing...)....

Doesn't make sense to me, the things they do. I've had bad experiences with several of the big tech guys now...

Too bad you were denied but I'm sure it will all work out for you. In my opinion computer science is really cool because if you want to be really good you don't have to work at a big tech company. You can learn in your cube, learn at home, learn wherever. It is so easy to network and be with other smart people that you don't need them and they need you.
