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.
