#2just got email for this, I did interview for Google and I'm over 40, (wonder how they got my info). I passed the interview but was shut down at the committee, very much doubt that age was a factor.

If you list years on your resume they can guess your age.
I wouldn't mind working for Google, I am over 40 too.

Always an interesting choice, the upside if you join is you get some money if the suit is settled, I presume the only downside is that you pretty much won't ever be employed there ever if they have paid out a legal settlement check to you. (It turns out it isn't illegal not to hire based on previously being sued by someone). I doubt they would be forced to hire you if they settle. (which would be a huge downside in my opinion, you'd go to work at a company with them already hating you for working there.)
So I guess it really comes down to whether you think there is any chance at all that they would ever hire you. I doubt anyone would hold participating in the suit against you, it isn't like you started it.

I got hired over 40, no problems. Left six months later for personal reasons, hoping to get back in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've read that being rejected at a committee level happens relatively infrequent. Did they hint to what might be the reason for rejection at such a late stage?

What do you mean hoping to get back in? My general understanding of Google is that if you leave on decent terms you can get back to your previous role without having to interview again as long as you do it within a year or two, is that applicable here?

That's fascinating considering we don't have that kind of negative consequence for participating in shareholder lawsuits.

It makes me wonder if that's due to the relative power of capital vs labor. Is that what you were getting at?

#10Based on my experience of Google interviews, they seem like one of the companies least likely to discriminate based on age.
Their interviews tend to be very tech/algorithm focused. To the point where they disregard almost everything else.
I would have thought, fast and loose early stage startups would be far more likely to discriminate.
