It really doesn't if you have any interest in a good process. They seem to engage in a lot of back patting about how great their process is.

I'd be worried about that coming off as "I'm better than you".

I went and did the phone screens and in person. Took 2 weeks to reject me. I don't really mind a rejection, I thought the interview was pretty meh on my part.

Decided to try again a while later. They had me start at the phone screen stage again, then wanted me to do a second. Almost did it, called it off because I decided it just wasn't worth the trouble.

I've been rejected by other places but google just really annoyed me. I think it was the overwrought, slow, unpleasant process which produces high false negative rates but that they are also seemingly extremely proud of. Only place I wen to where they told me multiple times about how common it is to interview 2-3 times before getting in. I'm sure that happens at other places but they seem to treat it more as a flaw then a feature.

Anyway, I hate jumping through hoops. I'm hoping next job I can leverage people a bit more and maybe move through things a bit more quickly.

Which one? You are talking about what sounds like serious safety issues. Which car was it so we can find out more?
