A bit offtopic, but does anyone know how long Google usually needs to get back to you when you apply for a position? Also, do they notify you if you've been rejected, or does your resume simply disappear into a black hole?
- brown9-2 17y agoSomeone inside Google might be able to correct me, but I believe that both 1) you won't be notified if you aren't a current fit (they'll put you into a resume database) and 2) if you are a fit, you'll hear back relatively soon - I've received replies from Google recruiters about a week or two after the online submission in the past.
- nimbix 17y agoThanks for the reply. I wanted to get an idea how long I should wait before signing a contract with another company. I applied with several companies about a week ago an it's really interesting to see the differences between small and large ones. The smallest company is really quick and I'm meeting their engineers tomorrow. In the case of the somewhat larger one (50+ employees) it took several email exchanges with two separate people to set up a phone interview with their recruiter. And I haven't heard back anything yet from any of the large companies.
- arebop 17y agoThe hiring committees don't meet every week, so it can take a while to hear back after each interview. They're very courteous and they like to collect data about their own performance, so you should expect to hear back from them either way.
- dspeyer 17y agoGoogle recruiting is notoriously slow. A few weeks to first acknowledgment is not unusual. Also, if you've just submitted your resume, there are multiple stages of interviews between you and an offer.
- jlees 17y agoA friend of mine applied for a job there in June and still hasn't heard back. (This was after several interviews, they appear to be at the final-decision stage, but even that's been a couple of weeks.)
- mbrubeck 17y agoAfter my on-site interview at Google, the recruiter called to let me know I was rejected. (It was about four weeks after the interview, though...)
