Has anyone here ever been denied at Google following on-site interviews and later hired? I would love to apply to another role but feeling very discouraged. Advice or guidance is appreciated.

Did you go through hiring committee? Or was your app stopped after on sites?

Most Googlers apply 2+ times before getting hired. Program Managers are a very scarce resource, so there’s very few openings with a lot of applicants. Even fewer roles if you’re a non technical PgM.

Keep applying for roles that match your skillset! If you had generally positive on sites you are miles ahead of others. You’re already ahead for even getting to on sites.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
