You should try again, there's a lot of variation on interview performance. Also, Google is a bit unique in that they put a lot of emphasis on what your thought process is, compared to other FAANGs. If you just code a working solution and didn't ask enough questions, that might only get you a mediocre score.

My interview performance didn't change after I completed the interview. If Google doesn't want to hire you, they won't, and your interview performance is irrelevant enough that they feel free to revise it retroactively. Perhaps they aren't willing to state their actual reasons. Studying is not a sensible approach to this problem. You would have to address something they actually cared about.

Treating any large company like a monolith is not gonna help you get a job there... Also, not sure what your recruiter was talking about - there's no concept of "passing" an interview at Google - you're rated on a scale from "strong do not hire" to "strong hire", and the folks doing the selection are provided that rating along with a ton of notes about the interviews.

  if you can pass Google interview, you can pass it anywhere else. Try it again, just like with lottery and Gogel is no longer a top employer, not from career perspectives, not from learning, not from a total comp
