I don't know if I would rant on Twitter, but I would be as frustrated as well. Those 'tests' are very academic and I am not an academic person. I've not even officially finished high school. This test will not properly judge how well I can code or design software. I've been doing just that for 20 years now, and launched a few start ups, but I would fail that interview at the door.

I interviewed once for Google (at their request) and failed. For some reason they interviewed me for a networking position instead of a code one, so questions about TCP internals were not really my forte. I was just launching my second start up at the time and would have declined the job had I gotten it. I admit it does sting a bit to be declined - not just for Google, but for any position - even those you would decline yourself.
