Getting an offer from Google after spending 1 year in Microsoft

I have worked at Microsoft for a year at L59, got the job through campus selection. Despite of a lot of hard work, my manager said there is not much hope to promote me to L60 even after 6 more months. I landed an offer in Google, with 25 percent increase in inhand salary and almost same valued stock component as in my current CTC. Despite of the salary change being so good, I’ve had people telling me that this is not a good time to switch to Google because:

  1. The laying off secenario at Google
  2. The work life balance has become terrible there in the past year
  3. There is a lot of office politics there, so bad working environment in general
  4. Microsoft Stocks have a lot more potential than Google stocks

Please share your opinions on Google vs Microsoft. Thanks.
