I interviewed with Google on 2nd of December for software engineer position. YOE: 5+ years as full stack developer. Java and JavaScript primary languages. Position considered: L4/L3 Current TC (in Indian rupees): 2.2M fixed + 200K(cash bonus) + 800K(stocks) I was able to get feedback from the recruiter really quickly (overall leaning positive). It was as follows: 4 coding rounds. 1. Hard DP(solved) + medium greedy(unsolved): verdict - negative. 2. a) Hard Array: interviewer asked me if I've already seen this problem, I accepted that I have seen this problem sometime back, he still asked the approach which I told. b). Hard graph: told a straight forward suboptimal approach, struggled a lot to getting the right approach, interviewer hinted that while speaking my thoughts I said something but diverted in different direction, I quickly got the hint and solved and coded the solution. Verdict: borderline 3. This went really well, one question but 2 parts, first was really easy and straight forward, 2nd was also medium which I solved using Treemap, interviewer asked to improve complexity, I noticed that input is sorted and I'm solving it for unsorted input, realising quickly I coded the solution. Verdict: borderline 4. 2 questions asked, 1st medium(array/dp, solved), 2nd (hard, had 2 parts, bfs and binary search) solved and coded flawlessly. Verdict: strong positive Because of unavailability during Xmas/new year holidays the call didn't happen that time. I got a chance to talk with 2 managers, 1 from GCP team but his feedback was that he wanted a little bit more experience (data engineering/big data). Other was from corporate engineering team and the call went extremely well, but due to mixed feedback in coding rounds I'm not through. Recruiter has asked me to wait for team matching and a good feedback from manager then he will forward it to HC. Location: India Is there any chance this can get through? #googlehiringcommittee #googlehc #googlefeedback #googleteammatch
It depends on how bad your bad interviews were and how good your good interviews were. I had a similar performance the first time at Google and my recruiter didnt even take it to hc. Also was talking to my recruiter about team matching before hc and she said team matching changes hc outcome very rarely.
Probably at some point in the past. These days, almost every candidate is pushed to Team Matching before HC. I don't think Google as a company, or recruiters / managers would waste time if it changes the outcome very rarely.
I am going through hc right now and my recruiter didnt go through team match because of this.
TC is your current TC or this is what Google is offering?
Current
Any news?
Did you get team matched?
Any update?
Are the verdicts your assumption or what the recruiter told you? All the best!
Recruiter told me.
Then it seems like a hire. They may downlevel you to L3 because of the borderline cases. Or they may request for additional interviews.
