I've been stuck in Google team matching for over 2 months and no end is in sight. I have had 5 calls and 4 of those were cancelled the same day due to the position filling up. 1 went well, but apparently they already had someone lined up that accepted the position. Any ideas what is going on here? I'm about to call it quits and sign with a different company. The recruiter just said that they don't have headcount atm. 3YOE 220TC Google Seattle L4 Other FAANG offers on the table. Already passed HC.
Same situation. 3 weeks, 2 calls. One went really well, and the HM set me up with team member calls after. Those went well too. HM went to get signoff from his manager, and he was told to consider new grads instead. L3
I started team matching today for L4 in NY. Recruiter said the pipeline was very "healthy" aka there's a gluttony of people trying to team match atm Curious how did you do in your interviews? I think having a stronger interview performance helps
I did well. The recruiter basically told me I would pass HC before she submitted me...she made it seem like the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. I also have competiting FAANG offers, but that doesn't seem to budge Google at all.
I see, I had 3 positive 1 neutral feedback. I'm not holding out hope for Google at this point. headcount squeeze is real
You are pre HC still?
Already passed HC.
That’s annoying, I’m just about to start team matching and hopefully the same doesn’t happen to me. My recruiter told me since it’s the end of Q2, the team matching process can move at a glacial speed since many teams don’t know what their head count will be yet 🧐 I wish they had industry hires apply directly to teams
Did it happen?
What are the other offers?
Apple 240TC Amazon 200TC Considering going to Apple. I think Google will match at best.
For L4, you should be able to get at least $260K from Google
They should stop conducting interviews if they can't match people even after 2 months. It's ridiculous to waste someone's time and your own money. Something is seriously broken with Google's hiring system, especially in Seattle area. Looks like they aren't expanding in Seattle or possibly reducing footprint?
They are building a whole new building in SLU. Maybe they are just in a squeeze until the building opens in late 2019? Regardless this is frustrating as hell.
Did u ask the recruiter why this is happening and what do they expect u to do, wait indefinitely?
In the same boat.. L5, NY and few weeks after the HC approval and few team calls but no match .. probably going to take another offer
Which ladder?
Market is becoming saturated. These days everyone and their mom is trying to become a software developer.
YOE and TC? Also Google location and level?
3YOE 220TC Google Seattle L4
Nobody wants l4 with only 3 yoe you are overleveled lol
