Is it common to not know the role or team you are applying for?
Been interviewing with Google for ~4-5 months now. Waiting for HC feedback. Recruiter says if HC feedback is positive, they'll decide level and role. I'm being considered for a role under the technical solutions consultant family.

Team may be more ambiguous, hence the team match towards the end, but role I think should be pretty clear from start.

Everytime I asked for a role example, I was told that there are hundreds of titles under this job family and the HC would look for the best fit based on my feedback.

He said a Pro for this method is I can move internally between teams as long as the manager of the other team has availability and approves my move.

Con - I would be in the dark until I get approved by HC.

Have you heard of this hiring method?
