Google Interview...no answer yet
Had an onsite interview at Google, then an “informal” chat with HM. Finally, recruiter asked for background info, references, comp... saying the feedback was great. Then, almost a week later wants to book a call to “talk through the feedback from the HM and team”. Is this over? I am fine with that as I have a competing offer ... which I accepted, while Google is doing whatever it is to slow this down. I’d still consider the offer from Google, but why is the process so slow ... and why waste my time if the answer is a no. I told the recruiter I have competing offers.
Google is notoriously slow
Where did you accept an offer?
I've only interviewed with GCP and my recruiter was pretty efficient (altho overall process slow). When I got denied he just called my cell and talked me through it. Didnt waste time emailing to set up a call and go over feedback, which they normally don't do. So personally I would take this as a good sign, but perhaps googlers can actually chime in.. Tldr: usually Nos are faster Usually a yes is slower (This was gcp sales)
The feedback from your interview loop has likely been average. There hasn't been enough time to take your candidacy through the hiring committee yet, so it's either a straight No or a "would you be interested in an L5 role" conversation
Yeah, thinking same. Did tell recruiter that I am not interested in T5 from the beginning.
Just talk to your recruiter... I'm talking to one in GCP... And he's responsive and at the very least rushes what he can. It helps to have other loops happening on same time
that’s what I was doing ... 3 loops concurrently, google is the slowest by far. Basically giving itself no chance.
Sounds like you are doing team match before HC so they want to make sure the team wants you (and you them) and then they will forward on to HC
The delay is probably due to the hiring committee. They can only review so many and they meet once a week if I’m not mistaken - in my case they met on Thursday. Since they already asked you about references and comp, they probably put the packet together and sent it over to them to approve. What that can mean for your call is they’re probably going to tell you that you were approved and going to discuss feedback on your comp, you were deemed a no hire, or you got put on hold (may need another interview or they gotta grab more feedback from the folks you talked to). Good luck either way!
just to close the loop, thanks for the responses. GOOG wasn’t ready to move forward for my level but gave some decent feedback. case closed
Went through the same thing. Google kept in touch with some updates once a week after my onsite. Informal chat and references...still no offer after almost two months(since onsite)now. Not sure why they can't just say No hire or Hire easily.
