<p>Looks like Mr. Krumins didn&#8217;t get the job, being told that he needed more experience for such a &#8220;mission-critical&#8221; position. But his straightforward and clear narration is very worth the read for any Google fans out there, as it provides a sneak peek into a small facet of the company&#8217;s operations. At the very least, we know Google&#8217;s willing to pay for the Latvian&#8217;s round-trip, lodging and food while he was on-site! Also, the comments, divided between haters, encouragers, and neutral opiners, is also worth some attention</p>
