Unfortunately too many stories related to layoffs. Had one round in Fall of 2008 where a couple of the people let go had just started a few months prior, straight out of college. Another summer (2009 or 2010), during the 10 week internship program, the interns witnessed two separate rounds, both were pretty large. Poor chaps

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
