- Rejected by Google again. Google is my dream company, and I just got rejected by them for the third time :( 1st time was around 5 years ago and I was totally unprepared at LC. 2nd time was 2 years ago, I did 450questions on LC and I received multiple offer from tier 1 companies (when I joined Meta) but still failed Google
- Got rejected after being downleveled by Google I had such an experience going over Google hiring process that I wanted to share with you all! :-D First, got approached by a recruiter over LinkedIn, we had the talk and they asked for my CV - probably to ingest data into their system. They also explained to me the whole process I was about the ex
- Got rejected from Google My recruiter called me to tell me that I didn't pass my on-site, she did NOT give any feedback why, I only had 1 month to prepare which is not enough and when I asked for an extension she said they only reschedule in case of emergency, anyway it was a good experience for me and I'll definitely try i
- Google Rejection After hundreds of hours of LC grinding and 350 solved problems later, I was rejected by Google HC “despite strong feedback.” Gained 40 pounds and haven’t felt sunlight in the past 4 months of interview prep.
