Yes but the new interview style is very "plant-focused": we give you an orchid to take home for 3 weeks and you have to nurture and cherish it. When you bring it back after 3 weeks, whoever has the most fabulous/lavish petals on their orchid gets the offer.

That and you have to be good at mental math.

As someone who previously bombed, yes there are still cases involved, at least when I interviewed a few years back.

Completed onsite interviews for the TAM role and recruiter gave me feedback that my technical depth wasn’t up to par for the role but my googleness/leadership and GCA interview feedback was stellar so they plan to propose me for Cloud PM roles instead. Does this happen? Or are they just being nice? What’s the probability that they’ll match me to another role?

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
