Just interviewed at Google Friday. Have 3 competitive offers in hand. Talked to recruiter today about speeding up the process potentially given these, and he basically said he'd try to get HC to review by the end of the week if the initial feedback is positive, and that my resume could be in the manager pool as HC is considering. In our convo, he said that the feedback so far was "trending positive". I asked for clarification and he said it's been "mixed but is generally leaning positive." 1. How do I interpret that? A no is coming, or a negotiating tactic setting up this situation where I feel 'lucky' just to have a Google offer, or just honest mixed results like any interview might contain? 2. How much power does he really have? Are these timelines realistic?
TC and YOE? Also other offers TC, or GTFO
@msft TC 195 YOE 2.5 Offers: 245 225 220 Been waiting for Google before negotiations
2. At this point, he has all the power. He decides whether to pass the interview feedback to the hiring committee.
He is just being real with you. Don’t be so cynical
Google recruiters are pretty honest and up front. They’ve got to collect the feedback and he has to decide whether to take your packet to HC. He has no influence over HC.
My feedback was same and later hc rejected.
Did you team match before sending to HC?
My feedback was the same and HC approved. Joining soon. So don't read too much into it
Nope
I also got the exact form letter - “trending positive” We might have the same AI.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

I haven’t done shit today!
Don't think there's any hidden meaning, probably mixed feedback leaning positive.
Fair enough. I'm just tweaking haha is mixed but positive a good sign? Or does Google strive to hire only entirely positive feedback
Maybe good enough to be presented to the HC, you do generally want mostly if not all positive feedback.
