For what it's worth, Meta offered me slightly after the hiring freeze was announced for a security engineer position (L4 IIRC). I'm interviewing with Google for Security Engineering as well and still they haven't told me anything about a hiring freeze yet.
- modarts 4y agoA hiring freeze is typically a freeze on new job reqs (candidates already interviewing wouldn't be exposed to this)
- gen220 4y agoIn this instance, Google is freezing people below the Staff-Eng level who have already done their onsites.
- gen220 4y agoAs far as I understand, the freeze is applying to standard SWE roles at levels below staff. If you're interviewing for something more specialized (security, sre, production engineering), the freeze may not apply to you. The hiring pipeline for those specialized roles is comparatively quite narrow and competitive, it doesn't make sense to squeeze them.
