Good pay and benefits , nice work/life balance; smart colleagues, free lunch
The old culture of Google where employees are encouraged to speak up is gone. Lots of yes men and the morale and work suffers for it
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 ...Read more
"OMG work in the office??? I am so happy I never joined Google. It is soooo baaaaad 🤡 Current: Starbucks 🤡 " 🤣 Edit: Now that I got a cluster of rejects in the room, my advice to you: You can always try again. You can do this 😆 TC: 460K
- Took 4 months for process - Incredibly slow feedback - Lowball offer - Work was likely internal tools Was a dream at some point but I guess reality is different. TC 220K
Would Google blacklist me if reject them? How do I reject them gracefully so that they would still consider me in the future? I would want to go to Google eventually but for now I believe other offer would provide more growth. Has anyone rejected google and later gone back? TC: 245k #google #reje...Read more
The viral LinkedIn post about a guy getting 39 rejects before getting an offer from Google. What does it say apart from dedication and consistency? TC : 200k #tech #google #meta #netflix #microsoft #amazon
Got this email today, sounds like a reject but soft reject?? If so, do I still need to go through the entire process again next time? `I have received feedback from your recent screen and I have some good and bad news to share. You did well, congrats! 🎉 That being said, after multiple reviews of y...Read more
Just sharing my experience, so others can set their expectations accordingly... Jan 2021: phone interviews Mid Feb 2021: Onsite interview End of Feb: Recruiter shared that feedback is strong but wants to team match before HC Mar: 2 team matches. One hot match but gets filled internally. Second is n...Read more
Hi, I’m graduating with a phd focused on ML (5-6 neurips,icml,... papers) from a top-5. I did two research internships at Google with outstanding reviews from my hosts as they said (google brain and then another research team) and published two papers as a result (google AI blogposts and everything)...Read more
Recruiter just emailed me after onsite saying "I have an update from the hiring committee to share with you, is there any chance you have availability after XYZ for a quick call?" Seeing this I'm thinking reject, but they scheduled a 30 minute time after I responded. Seems like that's a long time f...Read more
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...Read more
So a couple of weeks ago recruiter told me that onsite interview feedback was good for an L4 and he was going to move forward to HC. However, today the recruiter called and said HC didn't feel like moving forward because I required too "many hints during interviews". It certainly wasn't true. I did...Read more
So I had google onsite a week back and I felt i performed well if not excellent. Bombed 1 interview and was not able to come up with a completely correct solution . Did good on 2 and rocked the last one as it was a LC Hard and I coded the most optimal solution. Got reject mail after 2 days of onsit...Read more
What the hell? I was a rockstar in the interviews; I was expecting L6 but was offered L5. I know it was great. Is this common in Google? I have just rejected it, I hope they come back with L6 in the future, and I firmly believe I can't do anything better than I already did in the interviews. Tc: 40...Read more
I had a good interview at Google but I was finally rejected. The main issue was coding, according to the recruiter. I consider myself a good programmer, I've been coding since I was a teenager and I've written c++ (11/14/17) production code for years. One of the interviews was about coding a lot, a...Read more
My Square offer was 100k over Google’s offer on avg over 4 years. But now as things are, my Square TC is down and Google TC is up; to the point that they both are the same. Did I make a mistake turning down Google? Edit: For reference, G L5 and SQ L6 Current TC is after the share price drop. I thin...Read more
Google feedback "we are unable to pursue you for this role given the skill set we are looking for. We can certainly chat about other options" what does this mean???
Hello Friends, I got a reject from Google HC but the recruiter gave me two options either give 2 more interviews ( 1 Coding + 1 System Design) and appeal to HC for reconsideration or wait for another 6 months and start from scratch. In my first attempt I had 3 great interviews but 2 borderline inter...Read more
Howdy, Blind folks...I learned today that I was finally rejected at the HC level at G. I wanted to share a couple of pieces of info that I hope will help others as they navigate the hiring process there. These thoughts are in no order, and are based purely on my own experience to create some addit...Read more
I recently appeared for Google onsite. My telephonic interview was excellent, but in the onsite, I was rejected because I got 3 leaning no hire and 1 no hire. This was my first onsite attempt at Google. Though I am devastated, since I worked very very hard, and I even think all my interviews went we...Read more
Just got Google reject. Weirdly, i felt it was a pretty good interview barring one, but the recruiter mentioned that she could not share the feedback. Is this normal and expected?
