I posted a few weeks ago about where I should choose between Google vs Rivian..

I got a verbal offer from Rivian but the recruiter kept ghosting me when I was negotiating..

Google - I was told from the recruiter that I will most likely get an approval from HC if I down level from L4 to L3. After 10 days, she told me that I was on the borderline…and wasn’t able to get an approval from HC. When she first told me I passed the interviews, feedback was good. She was asking me for location and told me the salary range.. Is it super difficult to get it approved from HC?

I am so disappointed and mad that I am not moving forward with either of these companies..I probably need to start applying again and do more interviews..

If you can provide a referral to open positions, please comment. Thanks in advance.

    Sorry to hear that; google HC sounds like a roulette wheel from all the stories I’ve heard.

    Keep your head up and keep interviewing; if your G recruiter was even partially telling the truth then you should crush most all other interviews without any issue

      I can assure that the HC is not a roulette.

      It's more of a problem where the Recruiter isn't able to analyze the feedback in the same capacity as the HC does, often leading to recruiters pumping up the candidate just to crash and burn 😔

      If a group of people are making decisions based on written feedback from others, how different is that from choosing to dine at a restaurant based off of Google reviews.

    Wow that sucks, you went from “I am killing it” to having a one way ticket to the blues.

    I remember that happened to me once. I asked this girl if she wanted to catch a movie and she said “yeah that would be great!” And I am thinking wow 🤩 this is the greatest day ever and then she says “oh you mean like a date? No”.

    Why on earth would the recruiter say that? Don’t say that someone has an offer until actually have one..

  • HC passing rate is not very high. Recruiter should not give that impression to you before HC. Lots of time, the recruiter has no clue about the bar.
