I had a phone interview with a recruiter last week for a dream job. They said they’d follow up this week. But I haven’t heard anything back. What’s the best way to follow up? They approached me.

Did you send a “Thank You” email to the recruiter? If not, that is a good opportunity to re-engaged with them and ask about the next steps in the interview process.

That’s good! I would say send them another follow up email asking about any feedback or progress in their search. Also, I would give them a little more time, I find recruiters often over estimate how quickly they will get back to you.

Literally send an email to ask if there's an update. If you follow up a few times for a few weeks and nothing becomes of it, move on. Also, there's no such thing as a dream job. Dangerous idea that just psyches people up and sets up unrealistic expectations. There is more than one great job out there for you. Don't hold on to a dream job idea.

Interview went well, Total 7 ppl interviewed me. I accepted offer verbally. Then I got promoted and I shared that to recruiter and my current compensation and offer are same.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

How would you approach this situation? Would you mention the bad reviews to the recruiter? Cancel? Continue and see what happens?

I countered with a recruiter and they responded to my concerns and questions with “don’t worry about PTO days, I don’t even take them”, “you’re focused on the wrong things” (when speaking about health insurance costs), “I can’t see them going for that (my counter), let me see your experience again, 10 years hm”, “it’s really not an apples to apples comparison, this is a really good offer, don’t focus on that other stuff”. Don’t do this! I was leaning towards taking the job and now I may pass.
