Is there a difference between strategy & operations and business operations & strategy?

Biz Ops & Strategy is the “central” strategy team (closes thing they have to a corp Strat team) that works on engagements throughout Google as a whole.

S&O is more like a BU strategy team, generally aligned to a specific group and working on strategy engagements within their space.

+1 but would even question that S&O has "engagements" - they work directly with the team they are embedded in and roles & responsibilities can vary dramatically due to this and over time.

You will likely work a lot on OKR & Goal setting or Budget & Headcount questions for your group.

All these people liking my post, yet no one is commenting. 😫🫠

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
