Google Features
- Google should demote/fire a PM if a feature/product experience is bad With the latest mkbhd’s smash on Pixel 6 and YouTube removed dislikes and YouTube changed resolution specs, I have a strong feeling that many Google PMs are trying to chase the so called impact and never give a shit about the users. As long as those dumb PMs can come up with some stupid ass ideas a
- What are some cool features/services specific to AWS/GCP/Azure? I’ve only ever used AWS so I’m curious what are some cool services/features only offered by specific cloud providers? Or do any of the 3 do certain things much better than others?
- What fun features you will add to a maps app like Google maps, Waze or Apple maps? It may be optimizing an existing fun feature as well.
- link Is Google blocklisting the word "mother"? Just saw the Vice article discussing a new "feature" being rolled out on Google docs that *block*lists (phew, that was a close call) the evil word "mother". Saw a few Googlers on HN commenting this is absolutely true and the evil word is already verboten in internal communication. Is that true? Ar

- Dealing with regret hire Have you ever hired someone thinking they will really help you develop good product features and ended up finding the engineer to be a junior even with a PhD in computer science? I need some guidance as to how to navigate and help the hired engineer to be successful. We are behind schedule on delive
- What makes GCP worse than AWS? People always say gcp is lacking features compared to AWS and azure. I'm not a cloud expert, but from my point of view gcp has all of the important services I would need. So what specific features is gcp missing, or is it that their services are just less reliable? Not asking about market share, I
- Google Sucks so bad I live in Google ecosystem for good or bad and lately all their services from YouTube/Music to Google search are filled with bugs and weird features. Just venting out frustration. #google
- Why FAANG hires leetcoders when their features are breaking in production? Title says it all. I see so many simple features broken on YouTube app and instagram. All those Algo coding rounds just to hire terrible developers that can’t code simple features. What’s the difference then? I am a Frontend engineer and don’t understand why faang ask LC. #faang #leetcode #intervie
- Google people: what do you use MongoDB for? Was having discussion with team. Colleague said Google uses MongoDB. Turns out Google is prominently featured as customer of MongoDB on their website. How do you use it? How did you get it to scale to google scale?

- New google voice iOS app is crap Feature-wise the new app finally added the photo feature which is huge. But the app itself is so slow it's almost unusable. Does that team not realize that's unacceptable? Look at any major messaging app with roughly the same feature set and it's so much more snappy. Anyone else have an opinion or

(team worked on features that appeared in WWDC and iPhone reveals for example). Both are new grad offers. Both are MAANG (not Amazon). Not sure what is
- vote Thoughts on Developer Tools teams at Google? Currently in the team matching stage at Google for L4, was wondering the difference in product vs developer tools teams are. I understand the answer is usually "it depends" but in general is it not harder to demonstrate impact with de tools as opposed to more customer facing feature development?
- vote Youtube removed dislike count Wtf? Why? Google going crazy. As if lowballing and downlevelling wasn't fun, now you removed the only feature that makes youtube unique. FFS, Stop milking your consumers and misusing your monopoly.

Too early for promo to L7. This makes me want to look for

We are the biggest users of GCP and definitely love some services (BigQuery, Data Flow, Machine Learning, Cloud Run etc.) however looks like Google still playing catching up with rivals. New features are not rolled out frequently or ar
- Truth about Google SRE Don't join Google SRE because... - Promotions are harder than SWE (there's actually an internal doc discussing this issue, basically SWE L4.5 = SRE L4) - You will be doing a lot of cross team collaboration and your velocity is going to depend on SWE teams - SRE teams are inconsistent, some are heav
- PIP but for features not people. Do companies already have practices like this? I am sure Google does, considering how often they sunset working products. Are any companies actively incentivizing or rewarding individuals for sunsetting or PIPing low-performing products/features?
- Is Solutions Architect/Technical Solutions Engineer a good role to get into PM? I wanted to transition into Product Management. Does anyone know any solutions architects/technical solutions engineers who have done this? Especially at google. I'm currently a technical Solutions Engineer at Google.

- vote Are projects at FAANGMULA actually interesting or are people just TC chasing? I’m not talking about exceptions where you get to work on exciting new R&D projects. I’m talking about the majority of the FAANGMULA software engineers who just add features and fix bugs to existing code. For reference: FAANGMULA = Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, A

- There are two types of people: Those who think Google has the best engineers and tech, and those who have actually worked at Google. Seriously though where are the good teams? My team has no leadership, all the TLs are coasting, and it takes us half a year to ship simple features that I could write in weeks. Where do all these s
- link Google to buy SoundCloud? Please please please do. YouTube needs help with basic playback features, and SoundCloud is really bad in some ways, too, so maybe there's hope if this happens. http://www.inquisitr.com/3853602/google-buying-soundcloud-tech-music-news-2017/

- T or F: Google tagged LC questions were asked at some point in a real Google interview I know Google does not/tries not to ask questions featured prominently on Leetcode, but would it be fair to say that the questions tagged as Google were most likely asked explicitly in a real Google interview at least once before being “banned”? I want to believe this is true but there are 182 easy
- Tech Total Compensation Does the initial TC offer from a company depend the team that is giving the offer? Or is it standardized across the org no matter which team one joins?

- What's up with Google OnHub? Anyone at Google know what's going on with OnHub? Are there any planned major updates coming? Bought it last year and I'm pretty disappointed in the features and updates. Should I just dump it and get an Asus or something?

- How to get into AI/ML at Google? Passed Google HC (L3) and have so far been matched with SRE teams. Want to stay on the feature development side of things and would love to work on an AI service in GCP, or something similar. Is that possible?

- Amazon prefers Google over Facebook This looks like a new feature from Blind. Asking people would you work for this company. While Google is popular among Amazon employees, Facebook not so much. My hypothesis is that folks at Amazon are so sick of the cutthroat culture that they want to relax a little bit and maybe Google is a place

- Early in my career: should I accept a non-SWE role at Google or SWE role at Amazon Recently offered a TSE role at Google. From what I understand, it's not as technical but I'll work with partners, code some smaller apps, and drive some product features. Seems like a good role to transition to PM. At Amazon I'll be an SDE. Google pay is higher and location is Bay Area. Amazon loc
