Hiya Googlers! Finished my 4 virtual onsite rounds with Google today for a PgM Manager role (L6/7 from recruiter based on my 14 YOE and phone screen). Felt confident in my 2 RRK and Leadership & Googleyness rounds but felt I flubbed a bit during the GCA round. What are the chances of being downgraded to level 5 or even rejected if all rounds but GCA has good feedback? TIA for your answers!

All things considered, if GCA was a HUGE miss, things don’t look good. Unless the role has been scoped for 5, 6 as well as 7, being downgraded is not a possibility. However, if you aced all the other components, you still stand a fighting chance. Keep your chin up, and all the best!

Thank you for the response, G1. I’m hoping I did well enough in the other 3 interviews that worse case they might allow me to redo the GCA one if they deem it appropriate. I’ll keep practicing my answers in the meantime and appreciate your good thoughts! ☺️

Which questions in the GCA had you stumped?

Interviewees sign an NDA prior to interviewing, so they should not be sharing specific question details.
