Initial comp was great; refreshes are harder to get and you have no leverage
Very fragmented; too many product areas; lots of bureaucracy.
I applied for a position at Google a week before, suddenly this morning a phone number from Austin called me saying he is the recruiter of Google asking about my preference about positions etc. Should I receive an email first? Is this scam?
Waiting on competing offer and Google recruiter growing impatient. Now they have a queue of other candidates apparently. Is this a common bluff ? Before the obligatory TC or GTFO gang get me: it’s non-FAANG 🥜
I have read so many horror stories about candidates being left in the dark for months on end. Chatted with my friend (he's an SD Eng) and he indicated it's intentional and that your volume of candidates is so high that their experience is not a high priority. If this is true it seems really shitty. ...Read more
Hi All, Google recruiter email - after 8 days of onsite - stating " Hope you are well. I have the feedback from your interviews and would love to share it with you. Let me know when will be the best time to connect or as last time you can go into my calendar to book a suitable time slot - my calend...Read more
Google recruiter doesn’t reply to mails or calls. Confirmed about EM onsite loop 3-4 weeks back, setup just one round and no communication about other 4 rounds. No idea when or if they will be scheduled. All head-counts filled for Google EMs? Or are there too many candidates in pipeline? Or this is...Read more
I had a Google recruiter reach out to me for an opening asking me to fill up a form for a position I have applied. After I have submitted the form and lots of follow up’s I haven’t been able to get any response back. Did any one else had any such experience? Should I wait and follow up again? Apprec...Read more
Google recruiter sent an email to schedule a cal for interview feedback. Do they call regardless of interview outcome?
I've passed Google interviews and was stuck for 1y without team matching, so my results have expired. This has happened 2 weeks ago. Since then, I have had 5 (five) Google recruiters from different PAs reaching out to me to reinterview again. Google - you couldn't team match me for a full year 202...Read more
I have my onsites done and currently in team match phase. I had one team fit call where i was rejected by manager. After that, its been 3-4 weeks but no call has happened. Recruiter neither picks the call nor replies to texts. What to do ? Interviewed foe L4 Tc - 56 LPA Yoe - 3.5
Question for Google Recruiters: To all the candidates whose interviews are complete and are in various stages of HC/Team match, and have received a call from their recruiter that said we are in a hiring freeze (not a rejection call/email), does that mean Google is interested in proceeding with those...Read more
My recruiter went dark for 3 weeks after my onsite interviews and today I was told she needs to meet with interviewers for "detailed feedback" before she can provide any update. Does anybody know what this means? Should I give up my hope landing a job at Google? Any good chance this could turn into ...Read more
A Google recruiter reached out because he finds me a good fit for Google and will be calling me tomorrow. I'm not prepared at all and might need months to prepare (given that getting into google is difficult). How do I navigate the phone conversation so that I don't come across as dumb for not being...Read more
I had my Google onsite on Monday. I received a meeting invitation from my recruiter this morning that - "I have an update for you. Can we jump on a call to chat later today? :)" Feeling quite anxious because I read on blind that if feedback is positive, they get sudden call from recruiter and get em...Read more
Hey I just saw a ton of Google recruiters get laid off, everything okay @ Google? what’s going on? Is there a hiring freeze at the moment?
I am relatively new - 2.5 yoe and a Google recruiter reached out about a front end engineering position. Literally have never touched leetcode ever.. and all I hear about is how Google loves leet code type problems (DS&As) Don’t get me wrong I’m very happy they reached out but I’m screwed right? Re...Read more
Applied to a job. Passed assessment. Heard back from recruiter 2 weeks later and had a great phone screen. He said their scheduling team would be reaching out to schedule interviews in the coming days. 2 weeks and nothing. I tried reaching out after a week and no response. Is this normal? 🥲 TC: 2...Read more

How influential are Google Recruiters during the hiring process? Aside from helping you throughout the entire interview process, do they also carry weight in terms of recommending you for an offer? #google #gcp

Hi All, I had an onsite interview with Google almost 4 weeks ago. Since then I tried to reach out to my recruiter but no response. Should I assume I got rejected?
