I do want to add that, I've personally had a GREAT interview experience at Google (might be a exception based on the rest of the comments but I do want to put it out here). I had been initially selected for the position of Sales Engineer. Over the course of the interviews (3 in total - over the course of 2 weeks), I felt like I knew what was going on, what stage I was in and what questions were asked (as in, the reasoning behind the questions - the stuff they wanted to test me on). However, after the 3rd interview, I was told that I fit another position better and they wanted to interview me for that position instead (great position, but in SF which I was not interested in). Over the course of the last 4 months, I've been to 100s of interview and I can safely say that MY Google interview experience is in the top 10 (and if they are hiring in Ontario, Canada, I will definitely apply and hope to get interviewed again).
