> brainteasers (which, for the record, are not used at Google) Out of curiosity, how is this controlled?

  Interviewers write up questions asked, candidate solutions, and their commentary and hiring recommendation. Those writeups are sent to a hiring committee which reviews all the candidate's feedback and makes a hire/no hire recommendation. If the committee sees a brainteasers, disagrees with a question, spots inconsistencies in the feedback, etc., they moderate their use of the feedback or ignore it altogether. There's also a mechanism to send feedback to the interviewer, which they can use to let them know a question is appropriate, banned due to having leaked, etc.

    Thanks, that's interesting. It must be a little bizarre doing interviews in a place where lots of candidates specifically prepare for your interview process, and some presumably try to game it.
