How is the Google silicon group? I have heard mixed reactions. Is the work interesting? And is the TPU team better or consumer hardware?
TPU team is awesome, the best design infrastructure in the world
I've heard bad things. Bunch of boomerangs back to Apple.
Is this the team that makes the Titan chip etc ?
Would love a referral into the tpu team. Let me know whom i can dm.
Will Google ever do any HW development in Austin?
gchips?? Haha.. it’s a joke
Stay away. Even the SWEs in that org get much lower equity and bonuses than others. Silicon is second-class PA @ Google, just like Pixel will never be an iPhone even with more advanced hardware/features.
Avoid consumer hw team at all costs if you want to learn something, very slow paced and incompetent teams. Google will not pour money into this team for long

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’
