Googler here—I have no idea what happens to people who pass the challenge, but it’s been widely reported that Google is in a hiring slowdown right now. So I would expect the response rate from Google to be lower now than 6 months ago, and probably lower than it will be in 6 months.
Is this a seasonal thing? Or does Google hire people in batches? If not, together with joseph_c’s answer this suggests the odds are a worse than I thought.

What Christian said. It’s evidently a response to the current macroeconomic environment.
