Just keep in mind, if you are an L5 amazon engineer and you get an L4 google offer, it is NOT downlevelling. Amazon starts at L3 whereas Google starts at L2. Google level == Amazon level - 1. This doesnt mean you are downlevelled, diff companies have diff classification of levels.
This is a massively insightful and helpful video. I recommend listening to this video to everyone seeking employment at Google and is new to this process.
The Recruiter does not have a say in the hiring decision (30.00 approx) in my opinion. Sourcer sources leads / recruiter manages the process - does some pre-filtering / hiring manager (or delegate) decides if someone gets a TPS (telephone screen) / TPS interviewer rating effectively decides if you go to "onsite" or a further "TPS" / series of onsites are held / no interviewer conversations to avoid bias / if collective ratings are sufficient, candidate goes to Hiring Committe / HC makes the final decision on hire/no-hire and level.
Hey Donald, Thanks for this insight. Is meeting with the Hiring Manager part of the onsite or is that different? Is the Hiring Committee another set of interviews?
As a TVC at Google, I got the recruiters info from an FTE in the Dept. I was able to ping them during empty times slots (no meetings) and they responded right away. Thank God. I hear stories of so many recruiters not responding.
This is true with the sourcing. I had several recruiters find me through Linked In, Glassdoor, and Indeed, for jobs. Some jobs were for Meta and Amazon, some were for smaller companies. None for Google though. That resume was so clean and easy to read. I love it. My resume was 2 pages for a L4 position. Google had an optional cover letter that I did fill out. LOL. Listening to this, I am thankful I got an interview. Other than years of experience, what is the difference between and L3 and L4 or L5 Product Operations Manager? What factors are they looking for us to demo in the interviews? What in the interviews decides that I am an L3 rather than L4? You talked about scope. So, how does scope at L3 differ from L4 differ from L5? I am only asking because I am in the middle of the interview process.
Rating your career progression just by checking the final result and not knowing why it happened like that, is kinda of a dicky move. People can make all sort of forced choices due to their specific situation. I am not sure about the googliness of the hiring process.
I don’t have that data either, but from my experience, she’s right on the money, you’re either found via LinkedIn or someone gives you a referral, a direct application is usually pointless for Google. I applied for 2 positions at Google and got rejected, and then I tried again through a referral and BOOM, Google reached back in 2 days!
I can believe that, I don’t apply anywhere and get lots of recruiters contacting me. My suggestion is to create a strong and detailed LinkedIn profile or what you think they will search for to find you based on technical experience. Sell yourself as well as you can and be proud of what you did so that you can explain it. Pretty much what she said in the video. If you can get one interview, I think the chances are that they will contact you again in the future. As for reaching out to listings and recruiters not sure. But I think this video is good advice, I’m sure they know a lot more than me.
@@jlecampana when you say rejected, do you mean they contacted you and you didn't pass the screening, or that they never contacted you after applying. Because i applied to 3 positions on their site and got contacted by a recruiter with a few days for 2 of those.

Does open source experience is relevant?
What is your source of data to back up the statement that 80% of FANG hiring happens through sourcing?
I don’t have that data either, but from my experience, she’s right on the money, you’re either found via LinkedIn or someone gives you a referral, a direct application is usually pointless for Google.
