A few weeks ago our VP asked for a spreadsheet that showed how HC were allocated across teams and projects. Last time this happened was in December and layoffs ended up a month or so later. TC: $510
Most of the SWE interns who interned last Summer and who passed the hiring committee were rejected over a call. Google first asked them to wait till December for final decision. Then they were asked to wait till January end for head count finalisation. Then they were said to wait till March. In Mar...Read more
I interviewed with Google in the second quarter of 2023 for L5, underwent team matching recently, and am currently in the hiring committee (HC) stage. I would appreciate any insights into the likelihood of receiving an offer, especially in light of the recent and upcoming layoffs throughout the year...Read more
fml.. I have done TM, passed HC, waiting for verbal offer (went to comp committee) and now Recruiter is not responding (maybe cause of layoff/?) what should I do.... fml #google
I am ex-Meta SWE part of the recent layoff. Since I am no longer in Warn period, I have to give a small formal loop (2 interviews) to get rehired back (within next 6 months). Recruiter told me that the majority of laid-off engineers at Senior levels are not able to clear this formal interview proce...Read more
Looks like the round 2 layoff is coming. I think you should start planning before the layoff. Otherwise other companies HC will be filled immediately.
How would you convince the hiring committee and recruiter that you are not a job hopper, when you get affected by 2 layoffs in the past 4 months?
YoE: 7 TC: 289k Hey all! I applied for accepted a verbal offer from Snowflake for a Sr. Software Engineering role. I passed the engineering interview, and the hiring committee gave me a down-leveled offer as an SDE 2 (I biffed the behavioral interview). I verbally accepted this offer. However, I wa...Read more

Have an offer for Cash App. Any concerns regarding layoffs? I’d assume HC that’s approved now would be fine, but you never know. Beaten down stock is worrying.
It seems Google is going to layoff again. I wonder which style it would be. In Jan 2023, it was 6% mass layoff in one announcement; In Jan 2024, it was several thousand layoff but no announcement; Not to mention constantly reorg and reduce HC silently. What could next round be? I allow combined opt...Read more
Amazon used to be known for exponentially growing HC then layoffs happened. I am curious about what will happen this year or next year. Are they hiring? Only backfills? More layoffs? Hoping someone from Amazon with some more knowledge could jump in. Thanks!
Is it possible to get any clues from the op2 hc? What about URA? Does having a hc higher than current mean it is safer? YOE: 0.5 TC: 🍌 #layoff #severance #amazon
I was affected by the mass layoffs a couple weeks back in Jan but I heard through the grapevines #Amazon is continuing to reduce hc through performance input and pip etc. Do you sense the same sentiment in your org? #layoffs #tech #amazon
Hi guys, My L4 level was approved by Google HC in DEC 2022. But because of layoffs, Team Fit calls didn't happen and HR doesn't know when it will happen. I have given for Google India. Is Google India affected by Layoffs? How is situation in Google India? Is my HC approval valid for 1 year? Note: ...Read more
Very sorry for everyone to be affected by the layoffs :( But after the layoffs it should be safe, right? And taking into account that the HC supposed to be flat next year, at least some hiring should take place. #meta
E6 been here more than 2 years. Always MA. With refresh, TC 700k. Cliff in 2 years. G reached out for team match as I already passed the HC before the layoff but I’m not really sure that I should go due to TC. My current team is not bad but feel disconnected with people as each engineer works on d...Read more
