Google interview feedback

Had a google virtual onsite for L5 about 13 days back, recruiter had messaged me the next day and said, they’d be in touch once she gathers all the feedback. I am yet to hear from the recruiter after that email. Any idea what’s taking so long? Details of the interview: First coding: did really well, solved DS questions, solved follow up question, answered bunch of questions afterwards. Interview said “recruiter should follow up with what’s next” Second coding: did well. Solved coding question, had a couple edge cases that I caught while running through test cases, asked follow up question solved that, then asked me to clean code, reduced a couple lines. Then asked me to write test cases. Which I did, for some reason I didn’t get a positive vibe from the interviewer. Seemed kinda cold towards the end System design: I think bombed it, I was interviewing for L5, but I think I may have done just a little better than L4. Behavioral: it’s hard to judge, but answered what the toughest technical problem was and learnings and al that jazz Third coding round: solved main question, solved follow up question, interviewer again said, the recruiter will follow up with the next steps. UPDATE1: recruiter asked for scheduling a call tomorrow. This is after 15 days of interview UPDATE2: recruiter wanted 2 more rounds to downlevel me to L4, so took them last week. Not feeling too positive. Update3: recruiter reached out again to schedule a call sometime this week. This suspense is ridiculous lol. Update4: didn’t get L4 either. The HC passed on me.

Any comment on why they’re taking so long?

13 days is not long for Alphabet. Things can still go well, but I’d prep for the rejection. For very strong interview performance, they usually will get back to you in 1 week or less.
