At the beginning of February I applied for a few jobs at Google. I received 2 confirmation e-mails. I applied for a couple more later and received no confirmation. Tried recently from a different e-mail address and again, no confirmation e-mail.
I'm worried. Is this a not so subtle brush-off or what? Have they flagged my name and location? Are other people still receiving theirs? What should I do?
I haven't heard anything from them other than the two confirmations almost a month ago.

Google has interviewed you me many times over and does the same thing every time. They tell me that I have all the skills they need, have me go through multiple phone interviews, and then never call me back. I do not take calls from them anymore.

I'm in the process of getting placed at an internship. Can someone give a better idea of the perks of each location. I've read about the most well known stuff (catered meals, haircuts, rock walls, massages, etc), but want to hear some things that might be more specific to interns or each location.
In particular, I'd like to know if interns get laptops or whether Googlers get laptops for cheap.
Also interested in the kind of work interns typically do. I've heard a lot about some internships begin very hit or miss at Google.

Do you work at Google? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?
Any advice for someone trying to get in?

I have been submitting my resume for numerous non-tech (marketing) positions at Google. I've read quite a few negative conversations about how selective the hiring process is so I'm curious as to whether or not the following will work against me. Also, a good friend of mine has a good friend at Google and said he'd see what he could do to help me get an interview. Not sure if that will help me in the hiring process.
I have a BFA from a top university but I have defaulted on my student loans. I am wondering if this would count against me.
Also, I'm in my 40s. I have accumulated years of marketing experience. Will Google consider me in spite of my age? I'm submitting myself for mid-level associate and management positions (at youtube and Google) and nothing too high up the corporate scale or remotely technical. I also have lots of experience working w/ Google marketing tools like Adwords and Analytics. Was thinking of getting Adwords certified and wondering if this would make a difference.
I don't have my GPA. I tried to get my transcripts from my university but because of my student loans, they won't release it. Will Google be able to retrieve it? Will they frown because I can't remember my GPA?
I have read conflicting information about working at Google. Some places say it's great and they're good to their employees while others say they're notorious for underpaying and overworking. Which is accurate?
Is the recruitment process as rigorous for non-technical jobs?
Any advice or feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

It's always hard to know what to expect when going in for that interview -- and preparation can make all the difference. What is the interview process like at Google?
Any advice on striking the right note?

A recruiter contacted me about a position for Java Engineer at Google. He found me from searching online through a job/career site.
I have read a lot about the phone interviews and the in person interviews at Google, but today I have a call with the recruiter. Should I assume it will just be general like my experience, what I want from a career, etc? I have been studying big O, some sorting algorithms, general Java programming questions.
I'm not the type of person to work on side projects. I also had to really review everything like the big O and algorithms because I haven't done in 14 years from undergrad computer science class.
Should I expect technical questions by the recruiter?
