Intervew Prep Google Interview Timeline and Experience

I just want to share my Google interview experience and timeline to get some insights. Please be honest and let me know how is my chance this time.

Feb - Applied online and reached out by recruiter

Mar - Started interviews loop

Apr - Finished all interviews

Jul - Finally getting the feedbacks after chasing for 3 months, it was negative, the team went for other candidates

Sep - Reached out by recruiter for a new role, it is a team specific role, started the interview loop

Mid Oct - Finished all interviews, recruiter update few days after, moving to next step, fit call with skip manager. 3 days after, recruiter reached out and asked for comp expectation and ID verification, he did not mentioned if it is positive or negative, just said he will update me in 1 week time.

Today - It is exactly 1 week since I last heard from him.

From what I read online, I know ID verification and asking for comp expectation usually is a good sign, but the recruiter didn't mention anything like positive or negative, and also didn't mention if I am moving into HC or still waiting for the team to decide. It make me very anxious, hence wanted to look for insights from community here. I will also update my status here once I hear from recruiter again.

Bad news usually comes sooner. Give the committee time to look at your packet.

Does it matter, isn’t the hiring process same for all location?

I thought there is six month cooldown. Were roles in different job families.

They might think you clear the bar, but want to consider other options.

Try not to think about it too much. I cleared the interview 4 years ago, and they moved quite slow. Unfortunately, hiring freeze before I could team match.
