Hey Folks, I completed my interviews and got the thumbs up in March’22 and got the HC approval in May/Jun for an L6 PM (Product Manager). From March until now I’ve had only two TMs (Team Matchings) and both didn’t work out. I’m aware that times are pretty tough and with the mass layoffs there’s an abundance of talent that I’m competing with. Wanted to get the Blind community’s thoughts on how best to find a good team and land a role at Google. My background is in Mechatronics, HW and SW integration, embedded systems in consumer electronics (think Fitbits, Nest thermostats, Digital displays etc.) Thanks. YOE: 16 Current TC: 160k
Same boat as you are. Cleared interviews in April. Had 3-4 team match calls since then. None of them worked out as in the end they went with candidates with relevant domain experience. Finding team match more harder than interviews tbh. Hoping that more roles will open up in the new year.
Any updates or success in team matching?
google isn't hiring external candidates now. just hold tight to the new year.
not true. Some team is still hiring (maybe under exception)
functionally true. they are filling roles with internal hires and backfill is controlled by gm/svp. for op - they basically are not.
