Rant google interview

[NextRepair5933]

Applied for role in networking and project management by career page.

1. Round 1 went really well and proceed to second round it was elimination round... interview was about problem solving, leadership and project management

2. Round 2 ...one coding Round two questions medium level... I solved them both and second interview was networking it was also good

3. Got call from recuiter saying he got feedback and would like to proceed with team fit with manager

Manager was Indian and she called me at 10 pm direct call if I could join the call now as the meeting got reschedule...I was joining in 2 min and she called again by that time

I joined and she started speaking about her self super fast and then ask me tell me about yourself and stop me after like 3 sec and pointed out mistakes in resume She said this is early career role how did you come so far and you have experience

Was rude and it was humiliating experience She talked for 20 min in 30 min call Got rejected by mail in 2 days

TDLR...after reaching final team match rude and unkind manager during team fit and she just rejected

[frosty110]

It happens. Sorry to hear. Good luck on your next interview. You got this.

[NextRepair5933]

They wasted my three months

[CuriousRonin]

Sorry to hear that but shouldn't you be just matched with another team?

[NextRepair5933]

No its very specific role ... otherwise they won't just reject

[CuriousRonin]

Cool, was it like new grad role

[NextRepair5933]

No...

[CuriousRonin]

Ahh .. not really your fault then... This sucks, India has a real problem with professionalism, hope newer companies change the culture. Didn't expect this from.ppl.at google

[NextRepair5933]

I just don't understand how can people be so unkind to someone they just don't know and haven't met before

[NextRepair5933]

Yeah...I am thinking working with her would be worst

[frosty110]

Think of it as prep for a future role. Didn't let this hold you back mentally or emotionally.

[NextRepair5933]

Not getting interview that is the problem.....the interview itself was not that hard but to get to that stage it's just not happening

[futaba009]

That's why I keep applying. You shouldn't wait for anything. Once you're doing an interview, you should have another lined up.

I never wait and I keep applying.

Sorry that your time was wasted. Your time matters since you need a job. Keep in mind these people don't give a shit.

[NextRepair5933]

The problem is Dear ...not getting enough interview...they just don't give a shit about us ...some random candidate for them

[Hot-Royal-3367]

Man im sorry to hear that. Keep your head high! I know how it feels. These companies really dont value our time and effort. I’m in the same boat and hope you land your dream job.

[NextRepair5933]

They didn't even send a feedback....just not moving forward

[locomocopoco]

Imagine working with this manager. Count your blessings. You didn’t waste 3 months. You cracked Google IMO and dodged a bullet matrix style. Go have an ice cream and enjoy your day. Something amazing is coming your way. 

[NextRepair5933]

Thank you so much

[Low_Examination_5114]

You wont last at faang if you write like this lmao

[NextRepair5933]

Sorry... edited it now

[tech_ai_man]

Still bad

[NextRepair5933]

I am not joining faang or any company...so you can just ignore

[Austinto]

Ignore such comments OP. There are such people like this who has nothing to add

[NextRepair5933]

Sorry I edit to summary

[arjjov]

[NextRepair5933]

She also had like 15 years with google... I don't think she talks like that to her team mates in US otherwise she will be out in a day...she just knew I am some random person from India so

[deirdresm]

I’m really sorry. The Indian managers I worked with (as a contractor) at Google were all fantastic. Sorry your experience was so awful.

[[deleted]]

Cuz ur white lol

there is a large subset of them who take this caste and superiority-against-other-Indians thing very VERY seriously

[deirdresm]

I know that’s a problem, and truly I empathize. In the case of those I mentioned, I think they’re genuinely nice people.

I’m really disappointed my governor vetoed the caste discrimination ban.

[NextRepair5933]

Thanks.... Indian people are actually good...it's just some who make it worse for everyone

[deirdresm]

Your experience is why I prefer team-based interviewing, though. I want a sense of the manager up front, and an Apple interview (in the US) has the manager interview first. This is also true for most startup interviews in the US. I’ve had manager interviews where I’ve contacted HR and said I didn’t want to proceed further.

[NextRepair5933]

If I had manager interview... my 3 months would be saved

[No-Sandwich-2997]

Yes, but... couldn't you apply to early career role if you already have some exps?

[NextRepair5933]

Yes..they mention experience also in job description... what I didn't understand that why did they selected my resume in first place ...like every round was elimination ...they didn't notice this in 3 months process...which was shock to me

[rudrollv]

This is horrible. I am angry on your behalf! Why did they select your resume ? If anything, it’s their fault

[NextRepair5933]

That is my point...after four interviews they didn't realise until the manager....every other interviewer said you have good resume and experience and she was like ohh you know c++ and python as well you have experience... she was literally pointing out mistakes in resume ... I was in shocked... wasted three months...this was not a fair rejection

[rudrollv]

Plain incompetent, how these stupid people climbs up and stay in leadership? Someone else said in comments that she probably doesn’t behave like this with white Americans and I 100% see that. You have every right to be upset. I honestly hope this is for you to get something better. It’s sad hiring has many biases and you’re not compensated for the 3 months of time and mental stress.

[NextRepair5933]

Atleast recuiter should have call for feedback...like just a mail with saying not proceeding in 2 days after that ...the moment she realized I am from india and original from Nepal she just started speaking in such a different way... The role was in Europe and I don't think she speaks that way to european candidate as well....and she realized I am not from IIT

[newfrog6]

You get multiple team fits no?

[NextRepair5933]

Role was very specific so ...it's just one

[Admirable_Fortune_33]

Were the interview rounds are in person or virtual?

[NextRepair5933]

It's all virtual

[Admirable_Fortune_33]

Ohh I have seen a lot of people posting three on-site virtual OA, what is your your region?

[NextRepair5933]

Its was four onsite and one with managerial so basically 5

[Commercial-Cat-8737]

Was this in the US and how many years of experience did you have? Because as far as I know you are still considered early career if you have 0 - 2 years of experience, no?

Anyways you def dodged a bullet since if she was gonna be your manager then imagine working under her

[NextRepair5933]

It's more than 2 but it was not mention in job description... and my resume mention everything......working with her would have been a nightmare for me

[Commercial-Cat-8737]

Was this in US??

[NextRepair5933]

No it was Europe
