Google is so weird: There’s a handful of applications I’ve come across that I’m a perfect fit for or even over qualified for their “basic” qualifications yet my application wont even get noticed or rejected. Straight ghosted. How are people applying and getting Google jobs?

Recently interviewed at Adobe, it was great. Even the senior designer I was connected with escalated it a lot. But then suddenly after the last interview, I haven’t heard in a week from them even after multiple follow ups. Recruiter said she will reach out on Monday, but even Tuesday passed now. Should I wait a week or move on for other offers?
