Slavery has REVERSED! the US is the slave!!! Check out this dude who pays a personal trainer in India
I had my on-site on Thursday and I thinking I did very well during my interviews. My recruiter reached out to me to tell me, a couple of hours later, that my feedback was trending positive and I should hang tight! However, over the last few months, I have been seeing posts on Blind and other forums where people are complaining that after clearing the HC round, they have been stuck in Team Matching phase for the past 3-4 months and haven’t found anything. Hence, many candidates had to reject google and move on to competing offers. In other cases, the recruiters suggested the candidate to wait indefinitely for a match. Some candidates did get a call from HM but never matched or the position was taken up by someone else in the queue. In a few other cases, the recruiter told the candidates that they had to close the application because it had been open for a long time. So, the headcount crunch is REAL! So, I wanted to ask the candidates who recently got L3/L4 offers from Google in 2019 as to: 1. When exactly did you get the offer? 2. Which happened first for you? Team Matching or HC? 3. How long were you in the Team Matching phase? 4. Which location did you get an offer for? 5. L3/L4? P.S.- Any information would be really appreciated as there are a lot of people having this concern here!
L4, recruiter said that team match is now before HC since HC was getting swamped. Been team matching for 1 week with no news. Shrug
Sucks big time! Which location? And has the recruiter confirmed that there is no headcount ATM?
NY. Recruiter didn't say that there was no headcount, just that there were a bunch of candidates in the pipeline. She said it would be good if I knew people at Google to directly reach out to managers but I don't. Mostly definitely just accepting a different offer at this point
Yep, get in line
How long have you been waiting? L3/L4? And for which location?
1. HC results May 30th final offer June 5th 2. HC before matching 3. 1 day. 4. Sunnyvale 5. L3
New grad?
2 YoE
I'm still waiting....
For how long? And which location? L3 or L4?
L3 Bay area. 2 months so far
I'm still waiting, NY area (~3 months since hc approval). Had one or two matches that then stalled due to "budget" which was confusing
What was your interview feedback? Positive or borderline?
AFAIK positive
I've been waiting 3 weeks for an L4 team match after passing HC. Looks like I have to interview with other companies now.
That’s bad! I have an offer from Amazon and I have my LinkedIn on-site next week. So, I won’t be able to wait indefinitely either! Sucks!
Which location are you waiting for though?
Make sure you let your recruiter know, I think that's what got me matched so fast
Sorry, I am not clear as to what exactly you meant. Let my recruiter know about what?
That you have offers expiring
Seattle Area, L4, few weeks only one team match.
Hmmmm :(
Hang tight! Managers are being very picky as they try to get candidates with similar background.... I am in seattle area as well and talking to very few teams who are doing work which I have done in past.....
Hey guys! I am in the same boat! Please update this post if you hear anything 😢
In investor relations they said that hiring would decelerate in the upcoming quarters
