New week, more waiting for team match from G

I keep checking my email. Everyone said passing HC was the hard part. It's not waiting for TM is the hard part. At least before HC I didn't have my hopes up. Now after HC my hopes are up and everyday of waiting feels like it takes forever.

Why do G do this? Seems like a massive defect in their hiring policy

Walmart ghu75v OP Sep 16, 2019

I honestly don't know. Why keep interviewing if you don't have positions open?

Yeah seems pretty disrespectful

Did the recruiter share any feedback after your final round and then HC decision or was it HC decision only? Also, how much time did the HC decision take after your interview?

Walmart ghu75v OP Sep 16, 2019

After onsite recruiter said i had good feedback and tried to team match first before HC. After a couple of months of no TM, recruiter sent me to HC and I passed so they said congrats and called and everything and started a new round of team match

Oh ok, I thought TM happens after offer from HC. Isn’t HC also an elimination stage?

Same, no fit calls what so ever since I passed HC. Waiting for TM is literally the hardest part

Walmart ghu75v OP Sep 16, 2019

How long have you been waiting so far?

Scotiabank WWaN62 Sep 16, 2019

Cleared HC second week of August, so a month so far

Lol I waited months and just went elsewhere. Passing HC used to be the harder part when google was hiring a ton. Now TM because they're not hiring junior devs

Walmart ghu75v OP Sep 16, 2019

Im not even that junior, I'm l4 at Google and senior at other companies. Needed 6 more months of experience to be able to interview for l5

Amazon AMZNBucks Sep 16, 2019

Oh they're doing this BS for L4 now too huh

Push hard in sep/oct. Things really go dark late Q4 during planning and open up again mid Jan. G interview process is completely broken in terms of candidate experience.

Walmart ghu75v OP Sep 16, 2019

When you say push hard, do you mean i should bug my recruiter?

Google jr_exec Sep 16, 2019

Yep also hit linked in, personal network, boards like this, etc.
