Hm it's more like, what do I wish the recruiter didn't lie/exaggerate when I asked

The point I care about the most is the flexibility to cross staffing and the variety of projects and opportunities. Basically don't want to be pigeonholed. HR is def not the person to figure this out. Try to talk to the alumni of the team if possible.

Mostly compensation related. Career development wise try to know more from the hiring manager or the team.

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.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
