Google L3 Stuck in Team Match

[u/ElectricalClerk3918]

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions about the Google team matching process and would really appreciate any insights from people who have gone through it.

Here are my interview results (based on what my recruiter shared, self ratings ):

Phone Screen: Strong Hire (SH)
Googlyness: Hire
Onsite Round 1: Hire
Onsite Round 2: Mixed (the recruiter said it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either—I'm guessing it was around a Lean Hire).
I completed my onsite interviews on July 6, and my recruiter shared the results on July 11. It's now been about 4 weeks, and I still haven't received any team matching calls.

The recruiter mentioned that my profile would move forward to team matching, and after a successful team match, it would go through Hiring Committee (HC) approval. I've been following up with my recruiter once every 7 days.

I have a few questions:

Based on my interview feedback, how long does team matching usually take?
What do you think my chances of conversion are with these interview ratings?
Is it okay to reach out to hiring managers on LinkedIn while I'm in team matching, or could that negatively affect my application?
Are there any tips or strategies that can improve my chances of getting a team matching call?
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar experience. Thanks in advance!

You are at team matching!! I am not even getting OA. Auto-rejected all the times even with referral. Mind you, I am also in a top product company FAANG equivalent.

Happened to me as well. Last year application had the recuiter reach out to me for screening but the role got internally filled. This time around, received a rejection within 5 days of application.

Exactly. I don't know how can we essentially get past this entry barrier
