That is awesome. But a bit scary.

I love Google for the free one day delivery they give me. Take my info, it's fine.

Google is on my shit list atm because they seriously fucked my friend around in getting a job there. They did confirm that just like all companies - you'll have retarded business decisions that waste money and fuck people over for no reason.

Which reminds me, your former colleagues at Energex tell me to say hello.

Google fucks everyone over trying to get a job there. What happened to your friend?

Re: Google concerns me...
He was flown back and forth multiple times for interviews and strung out being told all is fine blah blah only for the role to change again and again and then the need for more interviews and then stringing him out some more then an organisation/team change again and the need for MORE interviews. Alas he had a bad flight over for the last set of interviews and wasn't well and then they decided he wasn't getting the role even though they had said they were happy with him previously and were just looking to place him.
Re: Google concerns me...
Yerp, that sounds like Google alright.
Someone I know went in for a PM role - got quizzed on engineering stuff for 90% of it, still got the OK, went to the hiring committee, they dragged it out for ages, said no. It's nuts.
They keep asking me to come in for another interview, haven't been convinced yet.

Re: Google concerns me...
Sounds like they try and emotionally ruin you prior to hiring. Not my idea of a place to work.

I've heard it can be pretty great once you get in
And it's fairer for software engineers. It's all the other positions that are really ridiculous.

Mind you, in terms of perks/benefits, Google doesn't look that amazing in the Silicon Valley. It's more the amazingly smart people you get to work with / learn from. And at least their shares are liquid...
