I interviewed for a research position at google, and recruiter told me that 4 of the interviewers (behavioral, 2 research, 1 coding) provided positive feedback, and one interviewer provided negative feedback. The recruiter wants me to do a follow-up interview for the coding, so that when he brings it to the HC (the HC hasn't reviewed my loop yet), he can show that the 1 bad coding was a misstep. Is it really in my favor? Right now, I have 4 good interviews and 1 bad, so the 1 bad can be viewed as an outlier. If I do another one and it would be bad as well, I'm pretty much guaranteed not to be accepted. Is it common to have a follow-up interview even when only 1 interview went bad? #tech #faang
Google has a lot lower hiring bar now. You might get in without another round as well.
Prepare for a downlevel
the one negative is coding and it's the only interview, so it's a good thing they are giving you another chance imo. I got through Google after doing follow ups too
I did a second interview. The recruiter actually packed 3 interviews. One was of the three was irrelevant 🤦to my expertise so I didn't do that one well. I got HC approved at the end. If you believe if your skills and don't want to risk it you can ask for more than one interviews maybe.
