I had my onsite a couple of weeks back and reached out to the recruiter today for an update. She mentioned that all my feedback is in and would be presented to the full hiring committee later this week. she gave no insight as to how the feedback was or if team match is needed to improve my case. Seeing others doing team match now before HC, I am wondering whether my case is too weak to waste time on TM. Level - L3/L4 Tc - 170k Yoe - 3.5 Update: HC Reject. Feedback was mixed. #google #googlerecruiterfeedback #googlehiringcommittee
If weak recruiter would have rejected , so don't loose hope
Hmm thanks. Since this is not the norm now i was losing hope.
Could also be so strong that team match can wait until after HC. Sucks that they didn’t give you any indication of how you did, but really it could be anything. Waiting sucks but hang in there!
Yea, that’s what is tough and I had to reach out for the update. It’s a matter of few days now🤞
FWIW, this is similar to what happened when I went through the process. My interview feedback was strong and was approved by the HC, so they went directly from HC to the offer committee so I could do team matching with an offer already approved. Hope it works out for you, and best of luck!
How were the interview questions? What was your preparation strategy?
All four coding rounds had 2-3 medium level questions each. Surprisingly the rounds were easier than expected. However I haven’t received my feedback yet so don’t know how I performed. My advice would be to focus on medium problems.
3 mediums in a 45 min interview?
If there’s a question around the level you will be approved by HC, that also can result in recruiter delaying team match. Say manager is looking for L4 and they match with you but you get approved for L3, that’s also not good...
Makes sense. I was just curious since this doesn’t seem like the norm now. TM are happening before HC. Thanks for info.
Lol what are these comments. A team match can be made before hire committing to help strengthen a packet if needed. If the recruiter thinks your feedback is strong enough, they just move straight to the hiring committee. Most of the people who team matched first were down leveled.
That sounds assuring. Hoping for the best.
likely your perf is very strong or quite weak. Factoring your own eval to decide which side you feel. I would say on the strong side.
Any updates?
None yet. Will update the post once I know.
I’m also waiting for the hc result..
I am in a very similar situation as you... Interviewed two weeks ago and had to reach out. Recruiter just told me that my packet was gonna be sent to hc. No feedback whatsoever.
It looks like the recruiters have been asked not to give feedback.
I interviewed last week, got word today that my feedback was positive and would get sent to a hiring committee, so that doesn’t seem to be the case
*Sometimes* a team match happens before HC. It's not common.
Weak. Expect a reject
That’s what my gut says. Anyways I ll wait for the update. Thanks.
