I thought Google interviews candidates as general hire and then do team matching once HC is cleared. However, recruiter contacted me and saying GCP is hiring and my Azure background will be a good fit for them. She sent me an application link and the application page shows Google Cloud Software Engineer. So does that mean I'm only interviewing for GCP and will only be able to match teams within GCP if I pass the interview? Does GCP have higher or lower hiring bar than general SWEs? Do I have any advantage for getting hired at GCP for having some Azure experience?
Lower bar. And gcp has toxic culture.
Much lower bar than other PA in G
My recruiter was from GCP but I had team fit calls with teams in Cloud, Ads and Search. Google hires generalist unless its something like embedded swe
Thanks
