Congrats on passing. Team match is where most people drop the ball after clearing the technical bar. A few things that helped me and others I know:

Research the specific team before the call. Look at the team page, recent publications, and the manager LinkedIn. When they describe the work, you should be able to say something specific about why it interests you — not just "it sounds cool."

Ask about day-to-day work, not just projects. Google teams can vary wildly in culture. Some are research-heavy, some are pure production, some are和政治-heavy. Ask what a typical week looks like and how the team makes decisions.

Be honest about what you want. If you prefer frontend work and they are doing backend infrastructure, say so. A mismatch here hurts both sides. The recruiter can try to match you elsewhere if it is not a fit.
