told to work on them and interview again in a year. Based on my own
analysis of how well I did with the questions, I wa...

too badly, but I definitely do not think I had a slam dunk either. Here
are the questions the Google engineer asked me in the interview:

some traffic .

I sat in the waiting room with one other applicant. He was older
than me by about ten years. Judging by our clothes, it was clear that
we were taking different approaches to this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.
He dressed professionally. Black suit, white shirt, striped tie. His

Interesting digg on Google's messed up hiring process. Can't help but
sympathize with some of those guys, especially after hearing the tale
of a friend (from school): This guy goes through the the usual process
(for a developer's position) - lotsa prepping, anxiety, sweating,
