My experience interviewing there sucked. I found their whole process to be rushed and invasive. At the end of the whole thing I was told by the recruiter that the team and manager loved me and I'd have a written offer the following week. I was then invited to come have lunch with a member of the team (it was pretty casual). A couple or so days later I got a call from the recruiter saying that hiring committee rejected my packet and was given 0 feedback.
Here's the thing about interviewing at a company like Google: the people who you meet with and interview you literally have NO pull to influence whether you ultimately get hired or not - it all comes down to a committee that judges you based on how you look on paper.

In any case, I haven't heard of people getting a signed job offer retracted due to a reorg.. there are lots of stories of great candidates not getting hired.
- doopy1 5y agoIt just introduces other bias. "Everyone says this guy killed his interviews, but looks like he doesn't have a college degree... pass!"
- kerng 5y agoYeah, I passed commitee with flying colors according to recruiter back then - but 2 weeks later someone/somewhere decided otherwise... lol not sure what actually happened
