Get over it, you were not good enough for them and that's what it is. If you were "google quality", you would have had long had an offer. This is for everyone else reading this, if you don't want to go through this. You must dazzle the folks interviewing you. Building amazing products you are willing to demo, solve interesting problem utilizing ridiculously large data sets, or in interesting AI domains. Google doesn't want average folks. I don't work at google or ever did, but your post is one of many lamenting about this.

As a new college grad, I've rejected a returning full time offer as well as several recruiter interview offers from Google. Sorry, but Google isn't as "cool" as it used to be (for reasons already stated in other comments). You must still be in Google fanboy mode.

Some of Google's products are shit though. ^ The above would have been correct if their quality was great across the board, but it is not.

Yeah not really, I know far too many "above average" people working there. Not everyone there is a savant, heck not even close. Companies on wall-street like DE Shaw have had far superior talent for a while now. And no, not all of their products are "stellar", some of them are utter shit. Just because you have accepted mediocrity and self-pity doesn't mean everyone should. Hard-work and practice goes a long way.
