So why do we pretend that prestige doesn't exist.
Flagged by the community.
Also Facebook is a garbage company, with a garbage product and shit tier prestige. Fight me.
Can we talk about the missing escape key combined with the lack of haptic on the MacBook touchbar? Fucking weak.
You work at a glorified taxi company that has never made a dime of profit and you have the gall to shit on us? Take a step back before speaking on our margins, maybe that will help dislodge your head from your ass
(Exceptions are there, but on average all things being equal noone works pick Amazon over Google).
This is exactly what this list tries to quantify
And before you tell me to leave Amazon if I don't like it - yeah already working on it.
Please don’t try to pat yourself on the back by grouping yourself in with the rest of “FAANG”. Amazon will always pay lower than other large tech companies so hotshots with options have to really love Amazon in particular to purposefully take lower TC. I’m willing to bet that is the exception, not the rule.
I don’t have any hatred for Amazon, but just because you guys have solid products and operate at a large scale does not mean that the perks, pay, and interview difficulty aren’t consistently reported to be (relatively) low compared to other top tech companies.
The point is, if Amazon is clamoring for people and is the easiest to get hired into out of a list of 10 companies, then it’s the least prestigious out of that list.
Does that mean it isn’t prestigious AT ALL and doesn’t beat MOST companies? No. Does that mean they don’t do good work? No. Does that mean it’s not prestigious relative to other top companies? Yes.
I haven’t seen that at LinkedIn yet.
Also “war machine”?? What??? That research has been going on for a while through Raytheon, DOD through academia etc. By the time industry gets involved in any govt plans, the project has already been long researched on the academic side, NSF hello!!
Also what??? You realize top level researchers are at every major industry research department. Good lord, you’re obviously not a PhD with a statement like that.
You probably wouldn't work at Amazon if you could work so Google. In most cases at least
On average, more Southwest employees would want to work at Google than the other way around.
And this is just my guess that more Google employees would be able to clear Southwest interviews than the converse.
As a result, people, especially recruiters, look on you more favorably if you work at Google than Southwest.
Unless you are an SJW, I'm sure you understand cohort characterstics
yea our interviews are definitely easier than Google's, but at the same time, it's actually really hard to get in at Southwest just due to the sheer popularity of our brand and culture. There's a reason we're consistently ranked in the Top 10 of any best places to work list alongside Google. I cannot unfortunately say that about Microsoft.
What you can or cannot say about Microsoft is completely irrelevant to this thread.
Are you seriously suggesting that a SWE at Southwest would be viewed as favorably as a swe at Google by the tech industry?
I can assure you, you'd get many many more messages because of the industry reputation of Google engineers, and the Google hiring bar.
If you want to work at Southwest you're free to do so, but unless you are new to blind your know that for most people in the tech industry hold a much higher regard for those who work so FANG
Come back when you get the offer
Basically any thing that is not your total compensation, is fair game
And the initial apple grant is better recently. I just accepted an Apple offer with 400k rsu for level 4.
Also, if you have competing offers, Google does roll out strong offers.
I think Google realised they don’t have to pay insane dollars to lure people to join them and hence this trend.
During the past 15 years my annual raises have at least met the inflation at the very least. Not so with this year's Amazon PCS. Sorry guys, but I'm not stupid.
This isn’t surprising in regards to Glassdoor. In general, our internal culture is strong and people love working here. We offer the best in industry when it comes to comp, benefits and perks. We hire the best. And despite the haters b+tching about some media spin, people internally know what we actually do, how we work and the truth. If that makes you mad, send me your tears and anger.
I myself have been here for quite some time and know our developer platforms well. The media spin, particularly by NYTimes, is amazingly biased. And I’m one who loved and respected NYT before.
Too mucho irrelevant content from India especially annoying questions when it comes to relationships.
There is a need for India filter for many reasons
1. Content is very wierd especially when it comes to relationships/marriages. Indians are very supetficial here and seem to care more about lineage and money
2. Poorly phrased questions and comments
3. Content not relevant to rest of the blind users
And please, Indians are way more racist than Trump. You have no moral rights to whine about racism
2. Very valid reason for hate
3. I am not representing India, I am representing 'me' and all of your comments show bias and anger towards a race, not this post or me.
I am pretty sure you are a Indian, I don't know what messed you up.. family?, boyfriend?, whatever the reason the hate is evident.
I hope Trump kicks you back to India.
But considering the number of people who agreed with me, there has to be some truth to it 😊
1. I meant Indians post very wierd questions about relationships and marriage. I like I discovered my wife likes to spend more blah blah. Noone else posts such dumb questions.
3. I don't care for appeasing any race. And I've been bitterly critical of whites and blacks too. Most Indians don't notice it, and whine of bias every time I criticize India.
Most people are not so insecure that they are triggered by the slightest criticism if their problems, except for one Ethnicity 😂
Snacks, insurance, catered/comped meals if working late (in NYC), NJ offices have onsite food for 2-3 meals. Good pay, though not highest but it's all cash. Strong performers in the right organization can be rewarded but it's almost always better to jump although this is not unique to BBG. Chill work environment. Hiring bar and quality of people is all over the place but there are plenty of smart people.
Did I mention the $5-$10k company charity match, you can contribute by donating dollars or time. Tons of perks at many museums and such (e.g. nearly free admission)
Also, the only technology company HQed in NYC proper.
I speak for myself and not my employer.
Also, charity and WLB don't matter?
They can do charity with their own oversized TC and retire much earlier than most.
Lol at Facebook being listed on a tier.
Sure buddy. You took the time to prepare, interview, got an insane package, and decided to decline. Sure...
We “suck” because we don’t have to pay as much blood money so our comp packages tend to be lower. (Our refreshes are what actually helps us retain the people we think are good, we just don’t have to offer people seven figure packages to get them in the door like y’all do.) People come to my workplace because they want to do something here and they give a damn. If you’re a mercenary or think this shit is a “game” and say things like “Don’t hate the player” in response to criticism you mostly work elsewhere and I am so, so glad I don’t have to deal with y’all in my workplace.
Facebook is *only* highly regarded because of comp. Y’all write a fucking website and couldn’t build a real product to save your lives. (You’ll see when you launch the nonsense that you’re working on and it falls flat. Buying other companies won’t save you.)
Not working there is worth every penny. Every. Single. One.
For someone in their 30s with kids, Google and LinkedIn would be at 0. Facebook would fall to maybe 3 or 4.
More people at LinkedIn would want to work at Facebook than converse. And that is what this list tries to quantify
“More people over 30 with kids” prefer LinkedIn over Facebook. I know many of these who won’t even interview at Facebook.
Conversely I agree with you that “More people in the early 20s and without a family” will prefer Facebook over LinkedIn.
Hard life.

Get off your high horse
Also, Infra companies are not well-represented in this list. Eg. AWS should be on there.
