Recruiter is saying “4/5 are mostly positive” (5 rounds total = 3 Coding + 1 Design + 1 Behavioral) and they are moving forward to HC. The negative feedback is from a coding round (My self evaluation is I did average in this round) In my case should I ask recruiter for team matching before HC to improve my chances?
They’re not going to team match you if HC gives a no.
I am not going to dictate, just a suggestion. I saw many posts that process allows team matching before HC.
In that case, tell Google you got approval on Blind. 🙄
Even for internal transfers, no team gives a full 100% until you pass HC(in case of ladder transfers or required interviews for certain teams). You don’t want to piss off HC.
I've never heard of such thing at Google (team matching before HC) but you can go ahead and ask your recruiter. However it won't increase you chances.
I did 1 TM before HC and two after. But recruiter was positive HC would say yes.
I saw several posts where team matching was recommended before HC. For eg https://us.team-blind.com/s/Q3SpFoDA
It's not an official team matching. The recruiter will not want to waste time with HC if there isn't a team that you match with. So they apparently do some sort of unofficial survey of openings and teams, and apparently the availability of relevant teams is somehow something that HC looks at? It sounded like a ridiculous chicken and egg problem the way it was explained to me. I did not end up getting an offer. At the time it was for L3, and they said they didn't have that many L3 openings at the location and it didn't even go to HC, apparently.
is the negative round leaning no hire or just no hire?
Don’t know that, but I wouldn’t say it went terrible. I dint had time for follow up questions
Current tc and yoe? How was the design round?
220k 7 yoe Design round went very well
Hate to say this, but most probably you're either going to not clear HC at all , or be downlevelled to L4. You need to do very well in all the 5 rounds to get L5
