Google exec approval to offer

I got team matched, HC approval, EC approval a week back. I was verbally told I will receive an offer last Mon. But, I have not rcvd yet. Is this common at Google? How long will it typically take for the initial offer and any further negotiations?

It takes awhile and they will make a big deal out of seeking “exec approval” as I’m convinced it’s part of their recruiting script. Prepare to be low-balled below market value on your offer.

Its for L5. I shared my expectation (median based on Blind data). Havent heard back yet. If the initial offer is low balled, then I need to wait further in negotiation rounds.. waiting is more frustrating than preparing for interviews...

Can I ask what you shared as expectation?

Expectation that I shared was 350 and they closely met the expectation

OP, hope you got the offer? I am still waiting for HC approval. Was told end of this week and still waiting for recruiter's note.
