Google is Meta’s #1 enemy. Who will win between the two?
If you’re interviewing with Google right now, continue interviewing with other companies. They are now cancelling some roles and headcount so what you’re interviewing for right now, may not be available once the pause is over in 2 weeks or so. And we (recruiters) might not be able to pivot you to a different role so we may have to reject you completely. Don’t bet on Google right now. Protect yourselves and keep options open! EDIT: I’m not responding to any messages so please don’t waste your time!
Thanks for looking out for our fellow tech brethren!
Is there new news since Tuesday? I was planning to enter the process next month and on Tuesday my recruiter said there was no freeze
Username checks out
Damn - finally got the on-site rounds and now this
Same. I’ll probably just cancel now. No point in going through the rigorous interviews only to not have a job if you make it to the other side
Isn’t an acceptance valid for one year
Thanks for the share. Posts like this are why I come back to Blind.
Anything you would like to share about the people that accepted the offers more than a month ago, currently waiting for immigration and have joining dates early/mid August? Are these offers safe?
Yes! Absolutely NO rescinding going on.
Appreciate your reply!
How can Google be unable to afford to hire
That’s not how the board members see it. They want to maintain profit margins. If revenue is predicted to be flat/falling, shrinking the company through a hiring freeze + attrition will help maintain margins.
That’s not the case lol. We’ve hired so much this year, they’re taking this pause to figure out priorities; what roles need to be filled NOW vs ones that can wait etc etc. Once that sort that out, then we can extend offers again. We aren’t able to extend offers only at this time but can still schedule interviews.
Any insights in regards specifically to Product Management roles? I know a ton of us have been kept in the dark by our recruiters
I don’t recruit PM’s but I’m pretty sure this applies all across the board!
Darn. Either way thanks for keeping us in the loop. You've done more than a ton of other recruiters we're working with.
I just got my rejection call from Google today. Said this exact same thing. She said my interviews went really well but unfortunately they are slowing hiring for the rest of 2022 and can’t offer me a position right now.
Strong Hire.
Why did you change your question? Now my answer makes no sense lol
