I passed the google hc on December 5th and have been waiting for the team match since then and got nothing. I have 4 years of experience and open to positions in the bay area. Since there is no competing offer and it is still the holiday season, I told my recruiter there is no rush on my case. But I do not want to miss the spring hiring season. Could anyone in google tell if there are still more positions to come in Feb? When do we normally get traction after the holiday season? Thank you in advance. #google #HC #teammatch #softwareengineer #l3
Reach out to your friends and contacts at Google, have them keep an eye out for you. That’s how I got my team match during December
I waiting 3 months about a year ago before giving up. Just FYI
What did your recruiter say/do while you were waiting? Did s/he ever get back to you after you accepted your current position?
Talked to me weekly how they were trying to find a team. I talked to two teams, one I rejected because it was obviously not a fit and one rejected me. I passed HC beforehand. I let them know when I accepted. They reached out 3 and 6 months later to say I can still do team matching.
Onsite was 10/11, passed HC, was told scored high, not a single TM interview yet. Now at Amazon.
Damn, that was stupid. Did you tell them you have a tight timeline?
Yup, I was marked urgent immediately which got me into HC quickly but did not accelerate interviewer feedback or open up TM interviews. One interviewer took 4 weeks to provide feedback despite repeated requests from recruiter in latter 2 weeks. Amazon requires feedback submitted within 1 business day.

That’s normal in December. Nobody is in the office until this week
when do hosts start looking again?
This week or next they’ll chat with the recruiters. Most are also just learning about new headcount. I was in same situation, took until mid-feb to get official offer. Just wait
