YES I walked out of an interview in my dream company Google (in their Gurgaon

office)

It went on like this - I once casually applied for a job in google, never expecting
to be invited in the first place. Well Its google after all, how can I expect a
call?

But I got a surprise call from Google HR a few days later, and she invited me for
the interview of an urgent opening 2 days later. She asked me - Can you join from
Monday and I had to keep myself from saying I am ready to join from tonight's
midnight.

I was over the moon and started celebrating that day itself. I was invited for an
interview in Google, that was not a small event in my life.

Then finally came the awaited day, I got ready for the interview early morning even
though the interview was scheduled at 3 o Clock. I was clean shaved, wearing neat
and tidy formals, Shirt was tucked in, everything was in place and I was all
charged up for the interview. I reached the office 3 hours early, observed
everything. From Dell written on the back of their computer screen at reception to
how 5 starish their toilets were, from super duper fast lifts to how googlers were
dressed up. (Don't even ask me about the cafeteria). I was thinking - If I get
selected here, my life is set forever.

I reached back on the reception at 2:30 PM after doing my lunch, waited on the
extra comfortable couch and when the watch ticked 3, I was excited beyond limits.
The really sweet HR came at 3:25, She took my first round, then I had to get
through another, then another, then another. After clearing 5 rounds the clock was
showing 6:30 and I were really happy but a tad tired. They gave me a refreshment
break and told me my last round would be with Ops manager Anupama (Not giving her
last name to safeguard her identity). I had to come back by 7:30, I drank a super
creamy cappuccino with a paneer tikka sandwich in their cafeteria. Going back to
interview room I waited till 7:50 when women having a serious look on her face
entered the room. (I actually wanted to ask - Why so serious, Is everything okay? )

Thus the interview started, Introduction, past experience, Life, family, books and
then she asked me to define feminism, which I think I defined very well (I was
surprised at my oratory skills, perhaps it was the Google effect).

Then she asked few more questions and then asked - Do you know whats happening in
our country these days? I was surprised at the bitterment in her voice but
couldn't decide what is the reason behind it?

and thus I answered - Yes, there are few students in JNU who wanted mainstream
media and political attention and thus shouted anti-India slogans. They were some
actual India haters among them too who want to break India (just 3 days back
Kanhaiya Kumar and Umer Khalid were arrested for shouting those slogans)

To which she answered - and they have put sedition charges on those students, how
is it justified? Indian authorities are suppressing the voice of youth, Most of the
students were preparing for civils, when I was in JNU half my class gave UPSC and
out of those half were selected She spoke few more anti-India things which I am
unable to recall right now. ( Here I had understood everything, why this question
came, why the bitterment in her voice and probably my interview was not going in
the direction I wanted it to proceed in)

I tried playing diplomatically after that, I said - Yes the case is in court and
court will do the justice, those who are innocent will come out clean. Though she
was not much convinced as she had clarified her hate for India, but the interview
got ahead.

She asked few more questions and then came the deciding question, she asked me -
Are you religious?

I said not too much but I do attend family ceremonies. She asked - Do you pray?
I replied Yes not always but I do when I visit the temple, usually, I meditate

She asked to whom do you pray? I replied - to Krishna

Here the weird bitter look on her face was back and she spoke in a terrifying
bitter voice - But Krishna was a huge casanova, he had affairs with different
Gopis, he used to be with a different gopi every other day. He had 3600 wives. How
do you say you are a feminist when you pray to such a women player.

She had gone beyond her limits, this was it, I had taken enough, Though I stood up
on this part but my blood was boiling since she had disrespected India, no Google
or Facebook job is worth the disrespect for my country and culture. I stood up and
said DON'T you DARE disrespect Lord Krishna, he was the strongest feminist who
has ever taken birth on this soil. Have you ever heard Krishna Radha? No, as its
always said Radha Krishna. His lover's name is taken before his name is taken
because he wanted it like that. To Save the honour of one girl - Draupdi and for
her respect, he faught the biggest ever war faught on the face of earth. And as per
the gopi's, Lord Krishna had 3600 avatars and each Avatar married a different girl.
So go and read Bhagwad Geeta, do some proper research before you speak and those
who shouted Tukde Tukde Hindustan deserve to serve lifeterm in Jail. Be within your
limits while you speak about someones country or religion. and with that, I
picked up my bag, walked to the door, forcefully opened it, slammed it back with
equal force and left the building with a spoiled mood.

Yet what I gained was experience, to share it here with you all on Quora.

But what is out of my understanding is How does Google employ such kind of people?
People who are Anti India and Anti society. (I don't have a problem with
atheists/any other religion until they don't have a problem with my religion, I
respect Karl Marx but my Indian blood boils when Marxists become maoists and spew
venom against my country)

Sundar Pichai - are you listening boss ??

Clarification 1 - Writing this due to few comments. Well guys though I walked out
at religion part but I was shaken when she was disrespecting my country. India is
my first religion. When she started disrespecting my culture, the water was already
getting overhead.

And No, she was not doing it to test my tolerance. I could see the real hate for
India in her eyes. She hated the country she got born in. She spoke a lot more then
I wrote here.

Enough was enough. I had two options - Either walk out at that moment itself and
kick the life changing opportunity I had got or to keep sitting there, let her
disrespect my country, my culture, my belief, my knowledge and land up a job in
Google but fall in my own eyes forever.

I am glad I took the first route.. No job is worth disrespect for my country & my
culture
