I might be very lucky that I didn’t join Google before the summer as I’m not stressed about potential layoffs… but on the other hand i do feel unlucky to finally fulfill my dream and make it through the recruitment process, only to get stuck in the team-matching stage. And then the freeze.. how long can people stay on the list until they get hired? Or does your place on the list ever expire?Google

I joined google mid 2021. I cleared the interviews in Jan but they took 4 months to team match and give me the offer. Hold tight, google always plays the long game and in these economic conditions that has just gotten longer.

I hope they will allow people to stay on the list for longer if that’s the case.

Network on linkedin and find your own team. Waiting for matches to come through takes to long.

Same here, passed on-site and was stuck in team match. After 4 months I gave up and took another offer. Recruiter said it’s valid for a year but I might as well interview for a higher level after a year.

> life is pulling jokes on me like that aaaaall the time…

I am glad to see someone else beside me refer to life's mishaps as "jokes"; I am always referring to setbacks as "good jokes" or saying "life really pulled a fast one on me" and I just think it is so funny and it makes me laugh and is how I cope with things.

Same, have also been stuck in team match since June and getting discouraged about getting an offer. I really want to join Google.

can someone please explain the meaning behind this whole team matching thing? aren’t you applying to a specific team originally?

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.
