Google Interview Feedback Email
"I hope you had a good weekend. I have most feedback in from your interviews. Do you have a few minutes to check in later today?" Feels like a no? I told them that I had an Amazon SDE II offer before the on-site, and they said that they'd speed up the process -- but to not even have all the feedback in? Wtf? Don't they usually take a really long ass time? EDIT: interview was Friday (3 days ago) btw
They will call to tell you that your offer is going to go through the hiring committee and they will tell you that the process generally takes a few days
Yeah, this is what I'd expect. As long as two interviewers were leaning hire, they'll generally send it to HC, so the recruiter can have enough info early to give you an update in either the positive or negative case.
There was one guy that I think we had a huge mutual respect for each other, and the last guy said he was good-to-go 30 minutes into the 45 minute round
Lol, "3 days ago (Friday)" i.e. yesterday, unless people are working weekends.
Correct! So this is super fast! It was from 10:15 to 3:15 too... So that's just a couple hours
I had my interview on a Monday and the recruiter called me on Tuesday morning telling me next steps. For me team matching happened before HC. Lot of people i talked to have had team matching before HC these days.
Yeah, that's the new process.
How many rounds you had? and how many did you think you got it right? Do you get any design round?
5 rounds. 4 completed and working -- 2 were 100% optimal FOR SURE with minimal mistakes; the other 2 were classic brute force and struggled to optimize, 1 was many parts but never had full code on the board I have 1 YOE; design is only for 7 YOE+
And what kind of questions did they ask? If possible, what questions did they ask?
Sounds like good news to me. This is exactly the type of email I received from my Google recruiter when they were pushing me through to HC
Usually if the feedbacks are negetive recruiters like to share the news on a Friday. Yours is mid of the week. Sounds like next steps for u..All the best
Would you please share the interview questions? I've my on site this week
Yeah, don't do that.
I've been pestered a few times to do so. My Amazon questions were a joke, but those Google questions were impressive, yeah, don't really want to do that
Sounds like you did well. They’re gonna check in say it went well, talk to you about areas of interest and location preference cause next step is talking to teams before HC.
I was pushing the recruiter with one offer. Pretty much similar situation. She updated me without having all feedback in replace. Recruiter asked me to do the team match first and if things were good then move on with HC. The feedback I got was some ups some downs. But they recommended to move it to HC unless I got a team matched.
With an offer in hand they generally expedite. But it should have gone to HC, not sure what recruiter wants to check in. How were your interviews? It doesn’t go to HC only when recruiter is sure that HC will reject.
There was a single interview where I didn't get all the code on the board... only 75% to 90% of it because I knocked out the design for the first part so quick that he fed a few more parts, then when I finally said "shoot, we gotta at least start getting some code on the board, it was about 15 or 20 minutes and I underestimated the complexity. At least 2 of the 5 were COMPLETELY optimal for worst case (one was just 100% correct, the other was called 15 minutes early -- the guy just said "that's good enough" despite pressuring me to optimize the average case as well)... 2 were brute force with super rough, struggling design idea attempts to optimize...
What were those 2 super-rough questions? Graphing?
