While Google takes way too long to make a hiring decision, all of the people I talked to seemed intelligent and very thoughtful. I did a Microsoft 'hiring event' and holy hell it was a clusterfuck. I got ghosted by one manager, another was extremely disinterested and seemed like they were interviewing me to check a box.
Another asked an algorithmic coding question they themselves did not understand, I had to very politely argue with them, I ended up having to show them step by step how my solution was correct (much to their surprised amazement). The system design interview was done by someone who clearly doesn't understand system design.
I cannot emphasize enough how much their engineering leads came across like a joke compared to other companies. Maybe I just got really unlucky and there are good people who work there, but I'm a bit frightened by what I saw.
