I had 3 interviews with google about 9 years ago. totally failed the on-site in mountainview. sorting a balanced tree on a whiteboard is tricky (quiet you!).

In hindsight, I'm not sure why I was excited to work at a post-ipo cube farm, even if it says "google" on the side.

edit: I believe it was also for SRE, which (at the time) means you do two interviews: the sysadmin interview, and the developer interview.

Can anybody confirm that it is still the case? That this kind of questions are still given to non-fresh-graduate (i.e. experienced) candidates? (sorting a balanced tree... ridiculous).
