> No one bothered to ask me what made me unique or interesting To me, it seems like Google's hiring process as a huge company (at least for the vast majority of positions) is explicitly looking for interchangeable people, so regardless of what they advertise, their process is not one that holds "uniqueness" as a plus. This is also evidenced by the "hiring committees" they are proud of and talk about a lot outside the company, which will inevitably reduce the variance of new hires. P.S. that might not be a bad thing for a big company of that size; I'm not holding this against them, but as a prospective employee, one should definitely consider this.
