Did not clear google onsite though I am sure I did well. One interviewer was very snarky right from beginning yet I maintained my composure. One interview was cancelled. Is this a normal experience?

Google doesn’t let people work remotely. And they have open office environment with bad acoustics so that likely explains the sound. Also they kind of have toxic culture which maybe explains the attitude. I have no desire to work there but I know everyone in consulting drools over the place.

Besides I have no desire to live in the Bay Area. Gross.

Slalom1 - the interview cancellation happened before I even showed up for onsite. It was one out of 4 other originally scheduled. In hindsight, it felt like hiring mgr already had another candidate in mind for the position or decision already made before my onsite. Experience kind of burst the halo I believed they had. Not any out of the world smart people but unnecessarily arrogant (at least one of them)

I had a phone interview with a team member and in the beginning he made a comment saying, I see that from your resume, more of your experience is in X, while we do mostly Y, is that true? Note that X and Y are very related and interconnected. Felt like I was fighting an upward battle. It was also extremely noisy and I could barely make out what he was saying asking him to repeat his questions many times. Sounded like he was in a call center. The recruiter gave me feedback and asked me for feedback as well. When I mentioned this to him, he said the interviewer was supposed to be in a quiet room. Sorry you also had a negative experience.

D1, You’re generalizing a whole lot. I used to work there and would often WFH. I also have a bunch of friends who are currently there and they haven’t been to the office in WEEKS - they are currently traveling the globe, “working from home” i.e. their hotel or a local Google office.

I’m sure it depends on which department you work for but I know for sure POPS, Sales, and Marketing is CONSTANTLY working from home lol.

Google 1- how is the work culture there otherwise? Is my interview experience normal with people being rude etc

It's not uncommon. I had some pretty aggressive interviewers when I first joined. Culture overall is very friendly but there are some rude folks as with any big company.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
