The recruiter told me I had 3 really positive reviews and 2 somewhat positive and 1 negative review. It's usually more feedback than I expect from companies but it was good to hear. It also matched with my expectations knowing how the interview went. She apparently took it to another hiring committee and they said no as well.
- sandino 7y agoThe recruiter told me I had 3 really positive reviews and 2 somewhat positive and 1 negative review. And apparently at Google - the negatives carry the day.
- itp 7y agoThat's true at a lot of organizations. The cost of a false positive hire typically vastly outweighs the cost of a false negative, particularly when you have the luxury of being perceived as a premiere employer in the space (from which follows a steady stream of qualified applicants).
- sandino 7y agoI know the rationale. Then again if it's just one 1 person out of 6 (including 3 other persons who gave "very positive" reviews) then maybe that one person is just being ... negative. As the modern interviewing culture (not so subtly) incentivizes them to be.
- lonelappde 7y ago"Somewhat Positive" means No Hire, so it was 3/6.
- sandino 7y agoSo "somewhat positive" = "negative" actually"? That's what I was getting at - apparently it's negativity-driven, all the way down.
- cortesoft 7y agoWell, if the other candidates had 6 positive reviews, it makes sense.
- lonelappde 7y agoWhy? How many openings were there, and how many other applicants?
- cortesoft 7y agoFewer than the number of candidates that got 6 positive reviews?
