Why not post this in the internal forum? Most of the voters here have worked at neither. It is like asking Texans whether one would rather live in India or Russia.

I feel like Internal Google employees will be very biased: grass is always greener on the other side, but I’ll post this internally in a few days

Waymo employees are on internal Google too.

Personally I'd do assistant because i use and like the product. Waymo might be better for your career if it takes off though

If u want TC, assistant. If u want to learn, Waymo.

You can learn a lot in either place and have high TC in either place. I'd say the difference is more megacorp vs. large startup, and liquid TC vs TC with risk and upside. I like Waymo solidly more than I liked Google, including compensation.

I've worked at both, and I'd say Waymo.

When you transfer from Google to waymo, you don't get any initial waymo grant right? It's just refreshers

Waymo PdAX50 Oct 12, 2019

No comment. go/grow if you're interested!

Does Waymo have gsu and refres?

Would they give the same TC or would Waymo give more since it's paper RSU?

I ended up staying at Google since the TC@Waymo seems less to me
