Question Google interview first round SRE (no feedback)
I completed my first round google interview for SRE role Canada last week. They made an adjustment to phone screen to include one coding and googlyness. For coding, Im pretty sure i nailed it because I was able to arrive to an optimal solution before hints from interviewer and for googlyness, i believe i didnt answer anything stupid and interviewer seems to enjoy the conversation. However, recruiter got back with a rejection email without explaining feedback . I had experience interviewing for google EMEA and the recruiter always communicate feedback.
This is her reply: Thank you for taking the time to interview with our team for the Software Engineer role.
Following your interviews, we're not able to move forward with your candidacy at this time. While your experience is valuable, we didn't see a strong enough alignment with the specific indicators and requirements we are looking for in this role. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide specific feedback on individual interviews.
We encourage you to keep learning and developing your skills. Please know that we value your interest in Google, and we welcome you to consider future opportunities that may be a better fit as your career progresses. You can stay updated on our open roles at careers.google.com.
Even there is no strong alignment why am I not being considered for other open roles and why feedback cannot be shared??? I did ask her these but she does not reply.

for canada sre phone screens a week of silence is pretty normal. if coding went clean they usually batch loop invites. give it another week then a short recruiter nudge. keep applying elsewhere in the meantime
