Google CFO confirms "large-scale" layoffs today (Apr 17)
Lmao omfg it's a dumpster fire. Absolutely do not join Twitch DI as eng. They JUST got away from having a single Redshift cluster for the entire company. It took 2 years. Their reputation is poor. Across data roles, about a dozen people have left in the past few months. Our tools are not like Uber's. Data people are not set up for success. Product engineering teams are really good though. Try to join one of those.
Do talk more about this single cluster. What were they using it for?
All reporting (WBR, MBR), analytics, data science ad hoc, ML models. One cluster for 1000-1500 people. Mondays and Tuesdays you couldn't even run a query for 2 years, just waiting for BR to finish. Real amateur hour.
