I’m updating my resume/CV and it’s about two pages long, Should I cut the experience I have to make everything fits on one page, does it really matter?

It's always best to keep it to one page. It's easier to read, easier for people to scan, and more likely to actually be read in its entirety. However, if you have really relevant experience that you can't fit on your resume unless you make it two pages, I think it's fine.

Probably. I've seen some pretty senior resumes cut down to just a page, so yours could look like too much to scan compared to those. Also the second page pretty much doesn't get looked at unless the first page lands you in the consideration pile, so keep that in mind if anything attention-worthy is on the second page.

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.

And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?
