I was contacted by Google Pittsburgh about 4 years ago. So I went through their phone interview process. I got through 3 interviews and really thought I did pretty well. All three interviews were entirely about solving problems that are heavily algorithm based. After interview three, bam!, they said they didn't want me. I looked over my notes and thoroughly researched the algorithms in question, I had come up with rather optimal solutions. I honestly have no idea what went wrong. But then maybe that just means I'm not smart enough to work at Google. Entirely possible. This experience bugged me for a while. Man what I would have given to see that guy's notes about me :)
