Happens - I failed interviewing with Google 5 times this past year, the last time being my first in-person with them (feedback was inconsistent performance).
I've learned at least with Google, sometimes you get bad luck with the draw...and in my case, I had some quite bad luck with recruiters who weren't the greatest communicators. One technical phone screen was waived due to the team's familiarity with my work, only to be rejected as not what they were looking for for that specific role.
Also, sometimes rejection is a blessing. The important thing is to make the most of your experiences.
- Kephael 10y agoI was under the impression Google only interviews a candidate so many times before they are banned from interviewing.
- Bahamut 10y agoThese interviews were mostly initiated by Google - in particular, I have a special level of expertise with Angular, which they highly covet and which is likely why they've been contacting me roughly every two months or so to interview for various engineering roles. Also, I had a typo - I didn't mean recruiters, I meant interviewers.
- Codefruit 10y agoAny idea how many times? I've made it to onsite interviews twice, and am unsure about applying a third time, at least not yet, for this very reason.
