Just spoke to a tech recruiter at @Google- any Googlers here?

Curious about your experience (culture, remote-friendliness, etc.), recommendations for interview prep, and any other tidbits you might have to share!

(Gonna post this in the general SE bowl but figured I'd ask the ladies specifically as well)
