Hi incoming Noogler here joining next month!
Seems like my team has scheduled a team offsite soon after I join. Could googlers let me know what happens on an offsite? Is it more work-related or more play/team-building related? Are families invited as well? Thanks in advance!

Both. Unlikely that your family is invited unless it’s like a holiday party

Families are not invited. It would be outrageous in the current environment. It will be a mix of work and fun determined by your senior leader.

Most summits and offsites and travel are being cancelled so its likely that might be cancelled. Im a Noogler too coming into all of these changes. I wish i joined in the heyday of Google lol

Same! I think we just missed the glory days.

Report back on what it's like. I start in October and we have a team design research sprint on the books for the last week of October. I'm curious how it goes for myself.

Mind telling your position and location? Interested due to the hiring freeze and hoping to get placed soon!

Resume gap: My position will be abruptly end in December (was informed this week). However, I won't be interview ready in the next 2 weeks. So how bad does a gap of 1-2 months appear to tech recruiters?

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.
