- Bad things about working at Google We see complaints and know shitty things about working at Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Oracle...... But I have never seen a thread about bad things at Google. Is it because Google is perfect, or because Google is well known to be the best place to work and people don’t speak up about bad things?

- Honest discussion about Facebook hate I know it's a seasonal trend to hate on Facebook and bandwagon around it, but I just want to really understand the entire reasoning behind it.
