Recently I was invited to Sydney to interview for a developer position.
I waited in the reception for a 1pm start. Apart from a tire swing, which everyone ignored anyway, this could have been any office. Nothing like the Googleplex in Mountain View.
I was led to a small room for the interviews. Along the way I passed rows of coders at work and an effigy of Sarah Palin. Poor taste.
I then had back to back technical interviews until past 5pm. Lunch was not provided as I had assumed, so I was feeling weak by the final interview.
By this time most people had already left for the day.
After the last interview I was escorted out. No tour. No snacks. No schwag.

So in conclusion I don't feel at all tempted to leave my freelancing + travel lifestyle.
