Google Recruiter Post Onsite Email: Pass or Fail

*UPDATE* The recruiter called to inform me that I passed Hiring Committee and I'm going to start team matching ASAP. The 34% had it! I'll give you all the facts I've got and I want blind to vote if I passed or failed. I'll reveal the results next week. About me: 7 years of full stack web dev. I've worked in a few large tech companies and a few startups. I've done about 50 LC mediums over the past 6 months. Interview: I was onsite a week ago. I had 4 or 5 rounds and I'd say I felt that I did average compared to other interviews I've participated in. I pass about 50% of onsites I've been on and I never can guess if I've done well or not. The email: Hi FirstName, Thanks for taking the time to speak with our team. Would you have sometime on Monday or Tuesday to sync briefly with me? Thanks! So now you know everything I know. Blinders, it's time to make that choice: Pass or Fail. TC: 380

The only ones with all the facts are the people on the interview committee. .. not us. Just hold your pants for 2 more days??? You will get the answer.

I'm pretty zen about it. I wanted to have a fun vote in the community!

Good for you but your post comes of as desperate.

How many LC?

Microsoft xdDW77 OP Oct 6, 2019

Ahh great question; I'll edit the post to include. I've done about 50 LC which were mostly medium.

Brief sync seems like a brief rejection if I had to guess.

Microsoft xdDW77 OP Oct 6, 2019

Yeah I think "brief" is the key word lol.

Pass, but with a clause.

Microsoft xdDW77 OP Oct 6, 2019

What's that mean? Like "pass, but we're going to keep your family in captivity for 5 years"?

IEEE Alov Oct 6, 2019

No, you passed. The only thing is that we don't have a team that matches your skillset. Will you be open to working in this group and the change later? YOU PASS, SIS!

google recruiters I’ve seen so far, if you passed hc or got an offer they will include good news or congrats in the email subject... idk maybe your recruiter is different.

Microsoft xdDW77 OP Oct 6, 2019

Yeah I think I've noticed seeing "good news" when I've passed. I think you're right!

Uber Hotwheelz Oct 6, 2019

Awww. Sorry OP. Enjoy your Zen.

" I had 4 or 5 rounds " Hey Blind, I don't know how many rounds I had, pass or fail :thinking-emoji:

Microsoft xdDW77 OP Oct 6, 2019

Hahah. It was a week ago so I don't remember exactly. Point taken though, I guess it doesn't apply to the question at hand. Maybe some people get walked out halfway through?

Nah google doesn’t do that - afaik none of the FAAMGs do it It’s also impossible, at least at G since you won’t have access to other interviewers feedback immediately I am curious about what will happen though , update this thread when you get the feedback pls

Cisco luciferr Oct 6, 2019

Update here when you get the result

Microsoft xdDW77 OP Oct 6, 2019

That's my plan. Keep this bookmarked. Which way did you vote?

Google bobawho Oct 6, 2019

I might be wrong, but they typically wouldn’t keep you guessing like that if the news is good. They usually say something like “let’s chat (good news)” in the emails

Microsoft xdDW77 OP Oct 7, 2019

Yeah that sounds plausible to me.
