Um. That's the standard Google interview process. Everyone goes through it. Contacted by an overzealous recruiter who gushes about qualifications but has no real understanding of what it would mean to be qualified. Annoying and frustrating phone interview with someone who doesn't actually understand the questions or answers (and who is hard to hear and understand). The phone interviewer just has a list of questions and correct answers. Slightly different answer? Sorry. Better answer than the one on the list? Sorry, I don't understand what these mean, your answer doesn't match.
The false positives come with staggering frequency. If you were to put the same candidate through the process twice you'd get two different results.
Google is terrible at interviewing, but the good thing for their legal case is that they are uniformly terrible without regard to age, race, ethnic origin or sexual preference.
Google employees go through mandatory annual diversity and anti-discrimination training. Hiring managers have an additional managing within the law training. Google also hosts optional classes to help employees identify and overcome unconscious bias. They're about the least discriminatory company I've ever heard of and actively encourage diversity in the company and the world.
They just suck at hiring.
