Big G needs some layoffs. Too many overpaid nooglers out there

Founder

I am not able to provide  much information about that.but one of my tech buddy from Hyderabad has been approached by a mediator who was a former recruiter in big G. They are catfishing people who are applying for the position before the actual recruitment process starts.

I faced the same thing. Surprisingly, I got a call from the Google HR directly and still faced similar shit, full on biased hiring.

Check, I’ve started a poll. Wanted to find out if it’s true or am I being delusional 👀

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

I know 5 people who got reached out by Google recruiters and are currently in the process. Why sudden spike in hiring at Google just after layoff?

Why is Google hiring extensively?

So, I am looking for senior level jobs and  usually referall /direct connects have worked better. But today I had to upload my resume on shine.com 'cuz the opening on linkedin, redirected me there.
Within an hour I got a call from an agency called evolution planner and what seemed like a young boy in an animated voice asking if am looking out etc. What spiked my curiosity was him asking if am looking outside India, which is not usual opening question.
Now its usual for consultants to call so it was sll okay till he said there will be a small fees. Now again, I know of senior folks who deploy headhunters and I was like maybe these people have got my profile from somewhere and are looking to source business from me. I wouldn't have paid but I entertained to see where this is going. He said Microsoft, Oracle etc have shortlisted me. Funny given I have worked in startups in marketing ( and not even tech ) so don't knw whats the skillset match. Anyway he told me to create an account and my final red flag was when he said site name like www Dot..lol who says it like that. I cut the call pretending am getting another call and he can call me later. He asked me to confirm since he will have to hold the client for me. Lol
It's happened with me for the 1st time and unfortunately searching this company name doesn't throw any negative reviews either. But this is a scam,right ? Also since when did google start recruiting like this.
Have you heard of this company?
Also have you had such experiences.?

Recruitment scam and spam

Brand Marketing Manager

Attended an interview for a startup where they said all was okay and agreed to rollout the offer letter and last minute told hiring freeze. This is for an entry level role. 

Cannot name the company as I can get identified. Fintech startup.  Their payscales in glassdoor were showing high base for entry level roles in Business Operations. 


How do we make sure that recruiter does not ghost us . What are the strategies we can use to get the offer. These days, every recruiter in first call itself asking about salary expectations.

Ghosted by recruiter !!

From the past 1-2 months, I'm seeing regular job posts from LinkedIn for data engineering team. Are they hiring every single week or are they not able to find good candidates?

What's up with LinkedIn Data Engineering Team?

Google's hiring process is so shitty , I have already been through 8 interview rounds and spent a whole year in the process but still yet to get a confirmed outcome result. What is wrong with these people, half of the interview rounds didn't seem justified for the role also. Almost every time the recruiter says this is the last interview then the hiring committee recommends another one supposedly "to fill the gaps ". Seems like an elitist process being followed to sastify their egos.

Why is Google hiring process so shitty?

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.

Big layoffs at Google!

Last I saw someone post that his Google Interview has started.  
  
 Guess, FAANG are showing their fangs.  
  
 Apple laid off subcontractors and not employees from what I read.

Research Engineer

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.

Looking to compile a list of a great companies to work for in India for SDEs. The company does not need to have Indian origin.

Some of the criteria to pass to be a great company
1. Good WLB
2. Top tier compensation 
3. Office culture
4. Career growth and visibility 

Let me know what your “best” companies are.

Engineering Manager

Soo I’m recent graduate with around 8-9 months internship experience looking for a full time job. However, I am also interested in the Digital marketing apprenticeship offered by Google (a few people from my college got in last year) which is why I am also thinking of giving it a try.

Now the thing is- I’ve heard the stipend offered by them is just enough to sustain yourself and you’ll have no savings whatsoever. considering this is a 2 year program and I also wish to do my masters in 2025, should I go ahead and apply for the same or take up another Well-paying full time job??

There is an opportunity to continue full time after the apprenticeship ends, but again that’s not guaranteed.

My main reason for pursuing the apprenticeship- the “Google” title and the experience that follows. (which will obviously be a lot more helpful in the long run)

Reasons for not wanting to do it-
want to travel internationally, want to do my masters abroad in 2025 and have enough savings.

(Also, my parents want me to get married in the next 2-3 years sooo that’s there too!)

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I got myself referred to a position of Senior Data Engineer in Publicis Sapient, later got a test link to complete coding assessment before being considered for interviews. The test was about UI development using javascript and node.js. This is nothing to do with data engineering neither to with the job description. Indian IT HR’s are the rarest species of the planet.

Dumb recruitment

Data engineer

Hey,

So I completed my prelims round @google , cleared it
completed 3/5 and its been almost 10 days - haven't heard back from my recruiter.

I have just one point of contact, so feeling kinda helpless as to whom I can reach out to.
Like i followed up thrice now over a period of one week - very respectfully.

I mean its my dream role and honestly, every day not getting any response is honestly painful - even If I didn't make it - At least I should hear back right? and I understand the number of applications must be extremely high - but still the process should be somewhat smooth right? Its Google after all.

Any suggestions on how to tackle the above situation?

Background check at Google

Zomato
Swiggy
Myntra
InMobi
Microsoft

I have seen a lot of product managers and SDEs targeted from these companies for potential roles at Google. Any thoughts?
