Google is still hiring in India

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

Any news on what prompted the Google layoffs now in India? Already 12000 odd layoffs were announced in Jan itself, globally.

Google has today announced layoff in India as part of their global layoffs

Today evening Google’s VP of Recruiting had an all hands call with global recruiting team to tell them that there’s more layoffs happening in recruiting and people will find out about it through emails in next couple of hours. Such a shitty time to be alive.

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?

Now that it's been a couple of days since the layoff news, was anyone in India affected ? I could not find any mention on the previous posts

How many affected by Google layoffs in India? Which teams and cities?

People who were affected just got emails. Orgs include Search, Cloud, Ads , Assistant, Pixel, etc. Engg is affected

High likelihood that google india will see a large layoff this week. It could be as soon as today.

Is Google India still hiring and is it safe to consider joining Google now? A year or so ago I went through the hiring loop and was advised to try again after a year because my performance wasn’t at par with the level expected for my experience. Fast forward one year and everyone is laying off staff. I’ve now been contacted a couple of times by the same recruiter and am tempted to give it a shot. Would like to hear opinions on whether this is a good idea. I’m interviewing at L5, aiming to be leveller up to L6 if possible.
