My one and only Google interview went this way years ago. Each round they'd send me more books to study, which frankly I couldn't be bothered to read given the circumstances.
My experience ended when an interviewer in round 3 or 4 asked me an obviously scripted question. I answered sarcastically, he got peeved, and I never heard from them again.
I'm not claiming I'm Google caliber, whatever that means. Obviously I'm not because I don't have the patience for their interview questions.
To be clear, the entire question was:
What's not in a Linux inode?
My answer was:
Lots of things...dinosaurs, the moon...
The interviewer told me very matter of factly that it was in fact, the filename.
I honestly lost all respect for the process, sorry Googlers.
