I just finished an interview process with Google. Went up to the last rounds, Hiring manager told I did well and was within the top 3 candidates, however they opted for another candidate with more regional experience. I have been interviewed before by tech companies (including Meta) and I was very disappointed with my recruiter. She would take 2-3 days to respond each email and during the 3 months process, I had to chase a few times to get some answers. I thougt Google recruiting was the best among thr best. Either I was unlucky or they’re not. I had much better experience with Meta. The process closed about 10 days, I also didn’t receive any survey to complete which I was expecting. To be fair, the interviewers were friendly and professional. I enjoyed talking to them. TC: $230k
I rarely get a survey.
My exp with Google recruiter was hell, she went on leave with no msg when she resumed the interviewer went on leave & recruiter took 3-4 weeks to get back I was like Nayy now I'll go on leave.
Yicks!
Didn’t they cut recruiting staff
The process started before the layoffs, and it wasn't great since the very beginning
This is normal
"I thougt Google recruiting was the best among thr best" Why would anyone think that
Because Google is *perceived* to have the most talented workforce.
Very few people perceive Google recruiting as a good experience 🙁 The company is way too slow

I interviewed with Google (GCP) and MS(Azure) in 2020. I found MS recruiting team was way better in terms of follow ups and even getting back . Feedback I received from Google recruiter was also confusing as the recruiter mentioned that I was a strong candidate considered for the role but that didn’t seem to be the case when they made the decision
Exactly they have no clue what they talk. Their feedback has no Base or something that you can consume and work it's like love you but can't marry you. Bs gtfo
Sounds like what happened to me. Throughout the process, I received only positive feedback.
Recruiter’s WLB > Candidate experience from Google perspective. Google recruiting is shit
What is your level? I am unable to take my eyes off your TC.
