Google Technical Solutions Engineer interview questions

The recruiter approached me and asked if I had interest. The first interview step was to go over simple multiple choice questions. The next one was a 1-2 hours written test. I was then interviewed via a phone screen that took an hour. All interview results were very good. The recruiters then scheduled the on-site. Here starts the ridiculous process: - The recruiter told me the onsite will happen in the company premises. - Shortly after that, I got an email about video conference-based interview. I asked why via email and got no response. - I was asked about the salary expectation at this stage. I told then my current compensation. They said they cannot afford! I said I cannot continue for that position. - I then sent an email asking if there is any other position suited to my career level and interests. No response! Hey, I don't know if any person in charge at Google is reading this but Google looks like not old Google but something else. I am done with respecting it and do not want to be part of it anymore. You should treat people well and not waste their time and interest.

I was contacted by the recruiter, who invited me to apply. The first step was a small questionnaire (they call it self-assessment) ~15 easy questions about data structures and basic Unix. This was followed by a coding challenge which you do on your own time (they recommend you to finish it within 48 hrs if possible). Challenge was a few troubleshooting questions with provided documentation as well as a code interpretation challenge. Finally, was interviewed by Google Hangout. I personally didn't like the style of having to code on a blank notepad without any prior planning (diagram/pseudocode) but it is what it is. Found myself backtracking a lot but thinking aloud to let the interviewer what is going on is very appreciated. Got a rejection call a couple of days after. Couldn't feel bad though, the recruiter was amazing and very supportive the entire time.
