A paradise for rest and vest people on the right team
A nightmare for career growing mindset people
Google is not the same anymore, things are changing rapidly & soon it will be worse.
Xoogler here. I echo this so much, and it's what made me leave (was in a tech role as well)
Google really was my dream company through life, but 2-3 months in, things really became clear (luckily I was in a startup before Google, and that was crucial to understand what was wrong there).
Ultimately, I feel it's an amazing culture and company but people have become too comfortable to realize the flaws :(
Sounds pretty good to me 🤷♂️
But isn’t it a good thing when you’ve made peace with your expectations from life? Say you’re at 40+LPA in hand and maybe se 35+. Even 5% incr/ year would be okay and you’ll have all the time in the world for self + family/kids. Thoughts?
First world problems!
Yes, of course. Nothing wrong with first world problems. We should all have problems suitable for the life we’ve been given, no?
@Royalflush you left a startup to join google , and now you’re complaining about it being slow paced. Obviously many people want chill life , perks that google offers and that’s why they work hard to get into Google, once they are in, why would they continue that? I’m not saying all individuals think like that but many folks do and there’s nothing wrong in that. I’m still curious that you didn’t know all this before joining google!
Having a problem is not an issue but you are pointing obvious things which are well known to everyone.
Also the hiring process is a pain in the ass. So long and time taking , so many rounds testing aspects that you will never need in a job.
Man, I am going to join Google in sometime. The offer letter came through today. Had a conversation with a seriesA startup founder, but now really tired to even give any more rounds :(
Post your TC/level details: let people comment should you join or not!!
Yoe: 2.5
Offered: L3, 23.7 base + 15% bonus + 3L joining bonus + 49k stocks
Standard L3 offer. Pushed for L4 but got told off saying my exp is <3 yrs hence not possible.
Lean Hire in one round, rest Strong hire
Current comp: 19 base + 10% bonus + some stocks
An ex Googler myself I’ll agree with some of the things said here
Not much different from Microsoft either.
MS still better than Google & Amazon. Quotas are not strictly followed.
Absolutely wrong info. People who even met their quotas were asked to leave in Jan-March quarter last year whereas ass lickers were being celebrated! Msft was my dream company, but I soon came back to reality on what happens there. Sales is the most political business unit I have seen and some of the folks who have been hired, makes you wonder if they knew dark secrets about, else no company in their right mind would ever hire them!
Google is just another mnc reaping benifits of Indian demographic dividend. Period!
Mujhe dedo job, chalega! 🫣
Rehendo, achi nahi h!
