Hi folks, I did clear L4 onsite almost a year ago (yes, it is one of those classic cases of downgrading from L5 to L4 after phone screening), and then the hiring freeze happened. There was a long radio silence, and my recruiter reached out to me recently and set an HM round, but the role didn't materialize. He says we shall try more roles in September and the first half of October before closing the application for good. I am losing hope with each passing day. Never expected team matching to be this shitty Is/ Was there anyone in the same boat? I hope to hear some stories with positive endings. People who cleared Google before, please respond to the poll. YOE - 7 (4 yrs in PM) TC - 55 LPA PS: Will keep updating the post whenever there is one! #google #googleteammatch #googlePM #googleproductmanager #productmanager
Hang in there champ
So many in the same boat. All my sympathy
Fuck Google. Know your worth.
Not in a rush for sure! I am doing good work atm. But, what I am also sure is Google on the CV would uplift your profile greatly. Should not be a yardstick, but that's how the current corp. world is unfortunately
Google is a great company, I ain’t denying that. But when they mistreat candidates like that and take forever to hire, it’s time to move on bro.
+1, but SWE It's a hell, stuck for a year. So no hope for me anymore. L5 is not much better either, it's L6+ that starts getting better
My recruiter says there would be more positions open for L5, than L4. Not sure why would that be the case. Anyway, hoping to find a resolution
I’m in the same boat - passes L4 HC last year in July
Wow.. more than a year? My recruiter said that the HC is valid for a year. Not sure what happened in your case
In the same boat, hopefully we both come out of this hell soon

'Hindutva': The Radical Hindu Ideology That Seeks to 'Push Christianity Out of India’
One of my teammate.had cleared L4 for UX designer role and joined 1.5yrs post HC approval. Don't worry to much. Even my team will have an opening in next quarter for PM. All the best
You can't join 1.5 years post HC approval. They will never give you more than 1 month extra.
Earlier you would have team match post HC approval. It doesn't happen anymore. Once you're team matched and get an offer you're asked to join ASAP
