Google Engineering Residency Return Offers?

Jun 24, 2020 6 Comments

Google is currently in a hiring freeze and has laid off some of their contract workers. What do you think will happen to people who do the Google Engineering Residency program remote this year? Do you think they will be in a similar situation since they are also fixed term employees? #layoff #google #engineeringresident

    To be very honest. If you are African American, you will certainly get an offer. If you are not, chances are small for this year. The HC are cut for entire year, and we are asked to plan 2020 and 2021 with current HC. I know teams are looking for experienced L4 to fill in vacancy, haven’t seen anyone looking for L3.

      My eng res is white and got theirs. Lots of white, Indian, and Asian males are all getting offers from their cohort. Stop spreading this bullshit.

      Sorry people are trying to make things better for underrepresented groups. Don't try to turn it into a fight.

      I normally never comment on posts but felt I couldn’t ignore this one. I considered reporting it but didn’t want information like this to spread about the program.

      I'm also from the EngRes program and want to say how awful @allowlist's post is. It's a great program where you get to try out multiple teams at Google, and the idea that being African American automatically gets you hired is racist and insane. For anyone that read that and felt they didn't deserve their spot because of the color of their skin, know that you DO deserve it and people around you don’t think that you got your job because of your race. There are African American (or just African) people in my group and I would be sick to find out they read @allowlist’s post.

      @allowlist also doesn’t understand that headcount works differently for regular teams and EngRes. This part wasn't right either.

      Everything this post said is wrong about the program.

  • According to my recruiter, residency programs are still a go (for now).

    The layoffs that made headlines a few weeks ago only applied to an external staffing agency that Google has a contract with. Residency programs are considered FTE offers even though it's technically a "contract position." I haven't heard FTE offers from Google getting rescinded yet.
