Caveat: hopefully my experience was a fluke and if I was to repeat it I would get a different outcome. I wouldn't want to judge them based on a single experience. My last round of interviews they down leveled me, yet I had a lateral offer from Waymo, and other companies upleveled me. I was interviewing for a specific role, but my interviewers were from areas around the company that gave interview questions relevant to their area but not the area I was interviewing for, and was well outside my expertise. I objectively didn't do as well as other interviews. Waymo, on the other hand stuck to my strengths in the interview process and was genuinely engaged with me finding a role there that Met my skills (I very regretfully turned the role down).
