I was flown out to California for an interview at Google, and while I didn't get the job, it shattered any desire I had to work there. I previously wanted to work "for the giants" because, well, money, and prestige, and "cool problems" etc.
Then I noticed every single person I met was involved with Advertising and tracking and tracking advertising. It was disgusting. I don't want to work on those kinds of "cool" problems.
