They've emailed me twice now asking me to interview. A guy named Dan McCarthy. I said no at first (back in 2007) but I said yes this time (just a few weeks ago). I made it by the first phone screening. They asked really simple questions. I'll have a more formal engineering interview next week. I think they'd get more high-quality folks if they let people work from home. I'd rather not move to Pittsburgh or NYC, but would like to work on Google stuff. It really interests me. Edit: I never sent them a resume or initiated the conversation (they called me both times). Also, I don't do start-ups and am not a big open source contributor. I do write and publish code that I find interesting, but that's it. I write code because it's fun (it's a hobby), not because I want to be rich or famous.
