Depends on the interviewer but from my personal experience hints are a negative unless its a hard level problem. Also depends how big the hints are

u might be fine, i got lot of hints for one qn and didnt even solve it fully but got moved to tm

#

literally depends on ur interviewer

fervent hinge
#

Or are they all just nice for no reason

stark hedge
#

i think it depends on which follow up u were one

#

on my last follow up i was given a hint even thought i didnt understand it but i still found a different solution and moved on

#

I was on 3rd follow up

#

How does R1 work? Is it two calls back to back for googlyness after

fervent hinge
#

R1 is tech interview then googleyness

safe dew
#

fervent hinge
#

No

#

during my goog r1, i was given a few small hints by my tech intvw

#

guess what happened - rejected

#

many other folks’ experiences have echoed similarly - get any hints or miss out on being asked follow ups, it’s likely you’re cooked n rejected from moving on

#

oh u did r2

#

idk how policies differ for that

#

but if u only wanted to hear a certain answer, maybe don’t ask ur question publicly if ur not gonna appreciate ppl being candid with u

#

yea i think it's prob weak hire

# forest leaf guess what happened - rejected

it depends what ur interviewer gives u
u must’ve gotten LNH which is reject
If it’s LH then they will schedule additional round to just confirm the signal in r1
and then if u pass that they move u onto r2

they won’t spend money on u to fly u out if it weren’t a hire in R1

For what it’s worth I think I got those same exact scores if I had to guess and passed (but everyone thinks they got a SH on the behavioral lol)

fervent hinge
#

The interviewers were very engaged I will say they were nice

#

One was tryna sell me to work with his team and the other was also in a similar team and asked me if I wanna be in nyc

#

Maybe they were just nice

fervent hinge

#

They may have been just nice ngl

#

Both my interviewers also tried to sell me on their team for some reason after R2

#

Idk y lol

fervent hinge
#

Tbh a nice interviewer is good though

#

It inherently boosts your chances

#

When people get a rude interviewer it’s hard to get H even if you do well

wet stump
#

Yea

#

I would remain hopeful for sure tho

#

I think u prob passed if those scores are accurate

fervent hinge
#

Idk about the SH part ig lol

wet stump
#

But Google is kinda rng and it lowkey may take a while to get results

fervent hinge

I heard back in a week and a half during Christmas personally

#

I’ve heard of people waiting 8 weeks

fervent hinge
#

During Christmas is crazy

wet stump
#

So it’s rng average is prob like 2-3 weeks

fervent hinge
#

We’re you matched to a specific team

wet stump
#

Nope I’m still in TM 😭

fervent hinge
#

Oof

#

Like are you only getting bad team interviews?

wet stump
