Good pay and benefits , nice work/life balance; smart colleagues, free lunch
The old culture of Google where employees are encouraged to speak up is gone. Lots of yes men and the morale and work suffers for it
Just wondering what are the companies Google considers competitors when reviewing offers. Probably FB (been there), Apple (been there)… anyone else? TC: 625K+ YOE: 20+
"The world's first open search engine platform that summarizes the web for users with useful and actionable content. No ad-targeting." What do you think of this: https://techcrunch.com/2021/11/09/you-com-lands-20m-series-a-to-reimagine-the-search-engine/? Can it threaten Google?
Hi folks, I am working with my leads to figure out some budgets and would love to get a sense of the best paying competitors to Google, specifically for SWE and PM roles. We are hoping to use this to help retain our top performers, atleast to the best of our ability. If you made a move out of Goog...Read more

Looking to install trackings for my ecommerce website but I’ve heard Google Analytics is not the best tool. What are your experience with GA and its competitors? I know some people use Heap, Mixpanel, or Kissmetrics.
Wouldn’t a beautiful ending to this story be that the ex-Googlers formed a coalition and built a competing product? Teach them a lesson the hard way — declaring war on the corporate elite by way of the people :) You don’t need to build something overly special. You just have to cut some exclusivity...Read more

Just saw in an internal Wiki that there are a few teams being created to get a prototype going with an aim to compete against Google Search and Bing. It says that just as AWS has a dominant share over GCP and Azure in the cloud space, so too must Amazon expand and become the "number one search engi...Read more
Are Amazon and Apple considered as competitors ? If Google walks out, do they pay for those 2 weeks? 290k
Will I get walked out if I reveal I'm going to NFLX? TC 250 non tech
Does aws or azure worry about having no direct competitive product against spanner?
US v Google prosecutor thinks so. Do you?
Had thought Bing maps will come up as a legit alternative for Google Maps about 6 yrs ago. What's happening there now? Are there other competitors for Google maps in the works? It's a super monopoly at the moment but I believe it's not as difficult to replace as YouTube.
Cheapest phones, tablet, laptop… Cheapest cloud, sass… Etc Is price always google’s strategy? #meta
About to give notice at Tesla, and I know they have to ask where you’re going and you have to answer or they’ll assume it’s a competitor and immediately let you go. I’m going to Google, nothing remotely related to cars, AI, driving sim, nothing like that. But I’m wondering if they’ll consider Googl...Read more
Lately, I've been using LLM based answer engines majority of the time and it feels weird going back to google search to dig through to find an answer quickly. My top two favorites have been chatGPT, perplexity AI. Both are not even close to taking over search but who do you think might emerge as a s...Read more

I really like my Google job because of the wlb and the pay, but I'm not happy with the career growth rate. So, I'd been thinking if there are any other companies that I can switch to and maybe join back at a higher level, but from what I've read, all other companies either have a good wlb or a good...Read more

How embarrassing is it that google did not already have a competitor to Chatgpt prior to their beta release. THEY ARE NOW JUST INVESTING??? I’m sure they were working on it for some time, but the fact that chatgpt beat them to market is just embarasing The prestige but somehow all these bright peo...Read more
