Hey folks looking for some advice. After interviewing for a S&O cloud role in early April, I was told the team wants to move forward me to HC but two weeks ago the HC dinged me. Not clear why and it came as a bit of a shock as the process was dragging out over weeks. I am still super interested in Google - should I get back into the pool or wait out a few months? What is the best way to avoid another HC ding in the future? Also is there only 1 HC across S&O at google - how does this work?

Wait a few months to a year. They want to see growth and improvement in whatever area they determined didn’t hit qualifications.

There is HC per discipline, and is comprised of people actually in that discipline. I don’t have firsthand knowledge of the S&O HC committee.

Don’t be discouraged, as many Googlers apply 2+ times before getting hired.

Sorry dude. I actually tried transferring internally to S&O and I got rejected. I thought the interview went well too. So I’m not exactly sure what they’re looking for either. Everything G1 said is right, there are HC per org and it’s made up of more senior members in that org. Generally speaking, usually you won’t get submitted to HC unless the recruiter really thinks you have a good chance to make it through. That being said, they could also ding you level (L4 vs L5) or there was some weak review within the packet from an interviewer.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!

Service design seems a popular role in consulting in the past year or so, certainly seeing more grads go down this route. Is there much overlap with business analysis? When I’ve worked with service designers the output seems to be another version of a process map, are there other skills and experience needed? I’m wondering how easy a move would be from business analysis to service design...

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!
