Did onsite at Uber and Google recently. In both cases, I messed up one of the interview, and did well for the rest of them. Does it mean I’m doomed?
Pretty slim. Specially now when headcount is tight.
Why is it tight right now? Seasonal thing?
End of fiscal
Nope it’s an accumulation of all the interviewers during the debrief. As long as it’s not your direct manager, you should be fine.
Sometimes you might be okay if you rocked another interview
You guys make me feel better now. I think I’ll be fine as the recruiter actually came back said the feedback was positive, but one of the interviewer (not the hiring manager)couldn’t make it that day, but still wants to talk to me to complete the loop. So I went back for that last interviewer and did poorly. Hopefully he didn’t mark me as strongly no hire
what was final decision here?
Nope. Unless it was a strong no-hire which means that you demonstrated really bad skills or terribly screwed up logic But also keep in mind that you may not have done as good as you think in the other interviews
