Google HC rejection after positive interview feedback
How often does HC reject candidate that has positive interview feedback? I heard one or two cases anecdotally and want to know if it’s common. I got a positive feedback from recruiter and expecting HC review next week.
Very common. What the candidate thinks a positive interview feedback, may not actually be like that.
Can you give more details on the feedback you received? If it was anything like "you answered or questions correctly" it's not something the recruiter should be saying around
My recruiter told me everyone said I was good at coding but needed to know more algorithms, everyone felt I was good but not great
The recruiter didn’t provide much detail. She said the “feedback was strongly in your favor”. Her words. How good are recruiters at gauging the strength of interview feedback?
You might not be the only candidate with positive feedback.
I'm in the same camp. Good luck to us next week!
I got five positive and one of them is strong hire. Reject.
How do you know this? Not something that would be disclosed.
Interviewed at Google, did really well on 4 interviews and bombed the last. Recruiter said feedback was “inconsistent” and would not be making an offer. Buddy that interviewed got similar feedback. Is this Googles way of letting people down lightly?
If it's actually inconsistent, they ask for more interviews. This happened to me. I know for sure one interviewer really liked me, one didn't, and two were okay. They asked me for two more phone interviews after my onsite
What happened after two phone interviews?
I heard there is a scale. Like 5 point-scale?
Were the coding questions medium/hard?
Very common
Why?
Not bad but someone else is better, usually
