Google Sr Software Engineer interview questions

I interviewed in NYC. No phone screen because of my previous experience. Besides the convenience of the location, I did not enjoy the hotel I was put in. Ask for The Maritime if you get the chance. Interview day was very good overall. The system design question was about a field that did not match my background at all at I was a bit disappointed about that. Between review committees, team selection, and other stuff it took over a month to discuss the offer details. When it came to that phone call my recruiter refused to give me any details if I didn’t tell him my other offers first. I didn’t. This introduced other delays and put me in a very weird position with other companies that I was still interviewing with. I believe that Google prepared a 'low ball' but then refused to pitch it once I told them that some other players were in the game. The offer finally arrived while I was flying to California for another interview (I can’t just sit and wait after all). It sounded in the middle of the range that I asked for but when I received it in writings I realized that it was just below the lower range that we discussed. Let’s blame that on miscommunication or great presentation skills on their side. Google refused to negotiate those numbers at all in two different occasions and went in ‘radio silence’. By the time they got back to me checking if I wanted to continue the conversation I had already accepted another offer, quit my job, and took a flight to the other side of the world to enjoy my time off. I cannot believe that this did not work out. Google was my #1 pick at the time. No regrets.
