Heard rumor that Google is drastically changing its hiring practices by removing the PA team match step. Each team makes its own hires now and internal transfers go through the same process. Is that true? Would that lower googles hiring bar? YOE 5/TC 430K#engineering #software #swe
I talked with a GOOG recruiter literally 4 hours ago and theyâre still using the company wide hiring model so it hasnât changed yet at least
Yep it is real. Also there will be fewer number of rounds. Amazon-ify entirely
Can confirm. Saw an internal doc announcing this.
Since there seems to be an internal doc now, what does this mean in a tldr version? No more HC? No more team matching? Can someone with more information post a few details?
how does this affect folks currently in team matching?
It won't. Process applies in full to new hires at Target date. God knows when that is exactly.
Google will become the next Amazon
Interesting the exact same change happened in Linkedin last year
Hmm actually yes I do notice that the quality of engineers has gone down a bit. Even though the interview question set is the same. But its ultimately about supply and demand. Companies are desperate to hire so have to lower their bar. Overall I like decentralization.
My friend interviewed recently. He mentioned something similar. He interviewed, and then he spoke to a team, and heâs getting offer in a week. Entire end to end process was 3.5 weeks. Supremely quick turnaround. His interview performance was average be mentioned. 3 average to strong rounds, 1 weak round. Donât know if this is now the norm. He said maybe itâs different because itâs not a office in Bay Area but for Canada
3.5 weeks is supremely quick? I did a virtual onsite at Meta on a Friday (skip phone screen), signed the offer the following Wednesday. Several months of leetcode before that though.
Supremely quick for google. This isnât a comparison of timelines between google and other companies. Itâs a question on googles hiring practices. How does metas process and timeline even factor into this here?
