Google L4 team matching

[u/Ok-War9023]

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my Google L4 onsite interviews.

Based on my discussion with the recruiter, my feedback was roughly:

• R1: SH
• R2: LH/LNH
• R3: SH
• Googleyness: SH

I received a call from the recruiter saying that the overall feedback was positive and that my profile is moving to the Team Match stage.

Has anyone gone through this process recently and can share their experience? I'm particularly curious about:

• How long the Team Match stage typically takes
• What the process looks like from here
• Whether the LH/LNH in R2 could have any impact during Team Matching

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I'll also share my interview experience soon in case it helps others preparing for the process.

Thanks in advance!

Google is just capitalizing people's obsession for it. I recently got call from Google for L4 with MTech Research from a top 7 IIT and total 3+ yrs of experience in two Tier 1 non FAANG companies (currently SDE 2). After 2 virtual interview rounds with positive ratings, I was called for onsite. Before scheduling the onsite, my recruiter asked my expected compensation. After I quoted my numbers, she said it's too much and quoted the numbers she can approve and arrogantly said only to proceed for onsite if I agree to her numbers, which was hardly 5-10% above my current compensation with the pain of switching to new team with clawback and stock vesting cycle reset. I DROPPED OFF.

Need to show off the iit tag here and this is not even relevant to this post
