I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Google (Neu-Delhi) in May 2018
Interview
Very disappointed by Google's Recruitment team on the way they handled my process.
6+ months long process with 6 interviews. All transcripts, questionnaires, professional references and every single detail whatever they asked were shared twice after 5th & 6th rounds of interview. Initially it was told that there will be 4 interview rounds & process may take upto 4-6 weeks.
However, for some reason hiring committee decided not to offer the position which is fair if they have some specific reason but that reason should have been communicated back considering that candidate have been waiting for 6 months to know the results.
Recruiter was either not sure about the reason or just wanted to avoid the question regarding the same. The only feedback received on the call was to prepare well for the next time if I reapply. I am still not sure on how I can prepare better if all interviews were first cleared, all details were shared & then hiring committee rejects the candidature without informing on the exact reason.
Till date, I haven't received any email or formal written communication or the 'candidate experience' survey link from the team.
PS: My sole reason to share this here on the Glassdoor is that if you are being interviewed at Google, please don't be excited or hope for the offer until you receive & accept one, irrespective of what recruitment team tells you.
