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.

It's how the world works. You can argue all day long about what the rules should be or you can play the game and win. Your choice.

Time to move then I guess
Companies will generally only do things when they're forced to do them. So if someone threatened to quit, and they took it seriously, something happened. Perhaps it should have happened sooner, but the reality is that most management teams only react when they've got little choice.

Yea and it sucks. I don't understand why it's not taken more seriously earlier on
They should reward loyalty, but they're not going to. Not preemptively, anyway. If push comes to shove and the employee in question is worth shelling out for, they will, as happened with your friend. That's basically the only way to get a big raise right now. If you don't force the issue, you'll have to be content with getting 2-3% following your annual review.

So they only reward loyalty once they know they are going to lose you. Pretty rubbish way of doing it because people don't threaten until they are on their last straw
That’s how industry works. Always be proactive and ask if you think you deserve it. Else someone will ask.
