Only if it's remote. Otherwise not worth it.

I'll have to relocate to bangalore. Google doesn't provide complete remote options AFAIK.

Software Developer

Not worth it then. On average, SWEs don't generally get to work on impactful things in Google and are hired as a cog in a big machine, on top of that you are being hired with a glorified SRE title. 
  
 Google is known as a retirement company. Join that role only if you want to rest and vest.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey all,

Few days back I interviewed for Google and got a TM the HM did brief about the role but it was related to cloud VM instances identifying the bottle necks and analysing performance. I didn't get to see any dev work here, but I really like building something instead of monitoring or analysing it. 

When I asked Recruiter regarding other TM rounds she said if you not take this you may have to end up waiting for months like many folks do right now. 

What do you suggest should I take this role because it's GOOGLE or take risk and wait.

I am done with all technical rounds but HR is taking too long to respond with the results. It has been 2 weeks. What to do?

Google Interview

Program Manager

I am currently a SDE-2 at a US based product company (Forte: Payments). I interviewed with Google and after all the rounds the HR called and told that I will be offered L3 only. 

The compensation will be basic Google L3 only but I am not comfortable with getting downleveled. I was expecting to get in at L4.

The review from interview rounds is positive. Should I go ahead with the team matching process and try to convince the hiring manager to give L4 / settle with L3 / leave the opportunity.

pls suggest.

Product Manager

Base - 51LPA
Bonus - 15% of Base
RSUs - 150K USD over 4 years
Joining Bonus - 10L

Initially recruiter had offered 81LPA but I shared my hesitation to join the team offered because I had read a very serious red flag review about the manager of the team and tech lead on teammatemeter.com (refer the screenshot below). I had requested for another team but the recruiter said this is the only team available. Since I had another offer from Uber (72LPA), I declined the Google offer because I didn't wanted to risk my career. Next day the recruiter returned with improved offer but same team.

I'm totally confused what to do. Should I take the risk for extra 19L or play it safe by joining Uber because ultimately the manager and teammates matter a lot.

Contemplating between an offer at Google vs a Series A startup, in India, with similar pay.

I'm curious to know if Google as a name on the resume (or for future prospects) is still as big as it was maybe 5-8 years ago? 

Or is India just a low cost employee centre for them and it'll always be down-the-stream work, at the whims of middle/senior managers?

Google - Migration Consultant Role

Cloud Consultant

Good people of Grapevine! I finally got a referral for Google and have an interview with recruiter on Monday for an Analyst role with Google.

Could anyone please help me get an idea around the interview process and what do they look for.

Finance Consultant

Every other person I see on Linkedin/Fb is joining Google. 
Can anyone from inside shed some light here? 
How's the work culture and quality of life? 

Reminded me of the good old days when everyone was joining Amazon.

What's happening in Google?

Google is on a hiring spree. But they have reduced their compensation and are also lowballing massively.

Hi all, I have around 2 years of experience, and I am getting a chance to interview with Google. I am currently working on frontend, but I want to move to backend and I have been preparing for that, but with phone screen round coming up, if I tell them I have worked on Frontend, then I will definitely be considered for frontend role and if I lie there, then I might fuck up interview if they ask backend questions, any suggestions will be appreciated. What should I be doing in this case, Thank you! 
Please advise!

Interview advice for L3 role for google with 1 YOE

I could solve general problems from arrays, trees, sorting and all. I would fail miserably when the interview goes in the direction of DP problems. After a point I realised it actually doesn’t matter, you will find enough places where you are valued for your skills. 

Been a person who was on the both sides of the table, more on the side taking interviews. I realised one thing how many of us end up writing those fancy TSP code or backtracking etc day in day out. Almost most of the code we write is in some form a version of CRUD and its a reality.
Someone getting hired in google is not going to be assigned to improve their search algorithm. I know a lot of ppl who joined and left google because they were not getting to work on meaningful stuff. 

I ask real life programming stuff and I try to judge based on that, I want to see given a real scenario how the candidate thinks rather then knowing how good the person is in solving some DP problem.

Some ppl can write real good code without realising that they are actually using the best practices and design patterns and not remembering the patterns name, it sometimes just comes naturally

I suck at DSA, realized its okay.

Travelling over the next few hours. Thought of doing an AMA.

Hi Folks,
I applied for L5 MLE at Google Banglore and completed my 3 Coding, 1 ML System Design and Googleyness & Leadership interview before mid-May.
The recruiter communicated the feedback for each round as "GOOD", not revealing the Lean/Strong-Hire counts even after being asked, saying those are for internal only.

For further process, the recruiter communicated that Team Matching could take time as the current openings already have candidates mapped for Team Matching.

I haven't been scheduled for even 1 Team Matching call.
And, on follow-ups, I get the answers "No new updates" or "Nothing so far".

Is this expected, given BLIND is filled with posts reflecting Google is on a hiring spree in Banglore?

Or is this a soft reject?

Or, to a stretch, the hiring season at Google India is over with no new openings? A hiring freeze.

Can anybody working at Google India, throw some light on what’s happening with Hiring. Seeing some posts related to layoff, people interviewing, people getting ghosted by recruiters after interviews. I’ve seen few people waiting for their interview feedback for few weeks after completing their all interview rounds. Is google going to stop hiring or there are too many candidates applying? Any insights would be helpful. Thanks

Google Recruiting Scene

Is it a good time for early in career(1.5 YoE) to join Google India. I am curious about their current culture like WFH policies, management outlook, direction of company, growth opportunity etc in Bangalore offices only.

What can you tell as an insider to someone on the outside looking at Google for possible next switch.

Also, are there opportunities to shift from Bangalore to other location outside India?

Folks at GoogleIndia, what can you share?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi all,
I'm currently working at Accenture for 3.5 years as C11(Database) , I was undergoing a training in Oracle Supply Chain Management at a Online centre/startup for last 6 months.

Now that startup want me to work as full time in the SCM technology but they are offering me the same salary package im currently getting now.

The thing is they are working on many project things like SCP,SCM,WMS etc but mostly experienced persons used to take care of the technical part. Which leave me to just schedule calls,doing excel/docs, analyze in the call for hours but couldn't understand anything. I understand there is more of self learning needed than of KT.
They are telling if I work here full time after a year they will recommend me for interview packages of 1 lakh per month.

I want to know whether the Oracle Fusion SCM has a growth in market for next 10 years.

And if i work in this startup and do only documentation and not work on technical stuff will i be able to clear the interviews with high packages(1 lakh/month)

Should i take a risk and join that startup and work for a year with same package. Or should i be current technology (database) and search jobs externally?. Any of your inputs is fine please help 🙏.

Pls help: Taking a Big decision in Career Life

Lets discuss here our current CTC and YoE along with Designation. More experience people will tell us if need to switch. Mine is 13.1 LPA with 6 Years and 4 months of experience.

Mention your current CTC with Years of experience. People will tell if need to switch.
