I had my Google interviews held last week and feedback was communicated to me. My all interviews went well but I received a negative feedback in one interview. The question was LC hard. I gave my interviewer the most optimal solution possible using DSU . I am pretty confident about the solution which I provided is the best that can be done. However she didn't even knew what is DSU (from her expressions she didn't even heard about it) and was completely blank during the interview, I tried hard explaining her but still she didn't get it. She provided me such a negative feedback just because of this. I searched her LinkedIn profile and damn she has done BS in economics, how the hell can someone from her background would know DSU. She has literally worked as a analyst before and moved to Google SDE. How was this my mistake? Is there something that I can do about it s ? Since it is impacting me a lot I would really love to have a second chance. I wonder what quality of engineers Google has after this. #engineering #software #swe
Maybe you were condescending to her
*in interview* "Wow, you don't know DSU? That's because you only have BS in Economics"
Even if the assumption of being condescending is incorrect, OP forgot that an interview is not about knowing or not knowing something or answering a questions correctly or completely. It is about "I want to work with this person", or not. By trying to impose acronyms you know and likely being condescending during the interview, you basically came across as someone that I don't want to work with. I'm sure the feedback doesn't even talk about DSU, and it goes along the lines of "When asked a question, TC didn't asked for details, didn't explain assumptions, and just dumped a known memorized solution without explaing acronyms or decision process, talking about readability or ease to maintain". Cleary TC is no hire in such cases.
My friend had similar experience, but interviewer barely could speak English. My friend shared his experience with a recruiter and they rescheduled one round
these companies should have a language requirement for interviews. 2/5 of my meta interviewers had incomprehensible accents.
I mailed the recruiter explaining the whole scenario. How much time should I expect to get a response from them?
Sucks!
So you didn't get the job because you were mansplaining in an interview?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow..! That’s crazy feminism…..!
Friend Luck plays a role in recruiting
Don't be salty. Try again and do better next time 😛
You should tell recruiters
You can tell your recruiter, sometimes they will schedule an extra interview. but you need to frame it more professionally and polite to have a chance.
How would you frame it?
