I applied for a Product Manager role at Google and I had an interview last week. The interview went really well and the hiring manager and I connected. I answered all questions methodically and most of them were right out of my current role. The recruiter called me 2 days later and told me that things went well but Google is not interested. Are there certain deal breakers at Google interviews that people commonly fall for? Should I apply for Google again in the future? Or will I likely fall for the mysterious deal breaker again? That was pretty confusing!
You a conservative? Maybe you made it on their conservative blackball list
A reference came back negative?
This is a possible torpedo. True. Any chance?
Had same experience, coming from an enterprise environment I was very systematic and conservative (in a good way) with my answers. They told me that I wasn’t creative enough.
No flipping way they told you that. That's a wild exaggeration. I'm sorry things didn't work out but our recruiters would never ever say or insinuate that. Maybe it was an internal bad reference
Well, I can’t tell what my internal reference told them, but “he felt like you were pulling back and wasn’t creative enough with your answers” was a feedback I received from the recruiter over the phone.

Google CFO confirms 'large-scale' layoffs (Apr 17)
I suspect culture fit. In this case the interview was great, however Google is not interested means not fit for Google for some reason. Can you think of any?
Does this mean op will never get interview at g?
