I was about to post that. Anyone who reads the little PDF Google gives you when you apply there knows pretty much exactly how the interview will go, and the questions they frequently ask are all over the internet. At that point its just about cramming your brain for a couple of days.

Like, I don't know how to write an A* on top of my head, but back when I was looking at Google a while ago, they always asked that question, and the prep PDF said so. Kind of hard to fail there...

Not everyone will be able to work there, but it's certainly not the status symbol it was a long time ago. Plenty of "Ex Googlers" are code monkeys like anyone else from any other company.

Haha, I see this even on some people's dating profiles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
