Hi folks, I find there isn't Software Engineer opening in Zurich at career.google.com.There's only 3 engineering opening which is SRE、Android、and iOS.In my mind,Google zurich is the biggest engineering office outside the US,but I can find plenty od SWE opening in London/Tokyo/Beijing. What happened to Google Zurich ? YOE:3 yrs Java experience TC:100k usd in Asia LC:500 Interested in working at Google Zurich
Yeah, there is a hiring freeze in any European office now. I’ve applied for L3 as well, but my application is on hold due to low headcount. The recruiter asked to wait till the end of the year 😑
Thanks !
Try to apply for US, maybe you can do the interviews there and if you pass HC you can ask to be reallocated to Zurich. Good luck!
Zurich (and most of Europe) is an awful place to live, I would take 100k in Asia any day unless you meant India or Pakistan or something.
I work in Shanghai and I find I am tired about city life
Oh I guess that's okay then. In Zurich you can try having no life!
OP you interviewed in China? Are you only open to Zurich?
I am not interviewed yet.Not just zurich,Beijing/Shanghai/Tokyo are fine too
In this case maybe you should start interview first, one of my friend passed HC 4 months ago in China and still can’t get team matched.
@Range, What’s your situation? Did you pass HC already? And which office are you applying for?
Yes, I passed HC one month ago. Matching APAC and EMEA but no matching call so far. L4 by the way.
Can you please elaborate what do you mean by “passing HC” Is it when HR says your onsite performance is fine to process further or something else?
Those openings aren't a reliable indicator of HC availability. Yes it's a big office and plenty of teams hiring, and not just SREs or mobile devs. If you must, apply through a suitable generic opening in London and tell recruiter that you actually prefer Zurich, it should not be a problem
Do I have to interview in Europe? If I interviewed in China or SG, could I tell my recruiter to match Zurich for me?
@fsck if you’re based in Zurich and can refer a few teams for candidates on team match (backend dev) please help us :-)
Heard the same, anyone has an idea why?
why does zurich office keep interviewing candidate?
Same thing is happening everywhere.
