Throwaway because I work at Google. I interviewed Cheryl Fillekes twice. I did not know her age, and it did not matter. Her issue was incompetence. One of the very few "strong no hire" ratings I ever gave out.

Why bother with a throwaway... sounds like you've narrowed it down pretty well if ever investigated.

The OP got flagged, so I will post here. -- Assuming what you say is true, it seems odd Google would have you interview the same person twice. It also seems statistically unlikely that they would get the same interviewer, unless the role was specialized. But then why would she have been interviewed 4 separate times? It's also weird that you are writing about it here.. I would assume you'd have been told not to discuss it and are probably bound by the settlement to not discuss it either. Remind us of what the definition of incompetence is?

Why is this comment flagged but can be replied to and it's not hidden from view?
