Google Fired
- Google Strategy and Ops Interview AMA Recently made it into Google for a strategy and operations role. During my search I found it very hard to get information on how to prepare for these interviews. Tons of info on SDE interviews but barely anything on S&O. So thought I’ll start this thread to answer any questions folks may have. Star

But my sample size
- vote Google lay offs I never have heard of massive layoffs from Google but I don't doubt this hasn't occured. I heard a say "slow to hire and slow to fire" for Google. Has there ever been a layoff at Google? And how hard is it get fired?
- Netflix vs Google for WLB Have offers from Google and Netflix. Netflix pays a bit more, but I’m optimising for WLB. Curious about WLB at both from people who worked as SWE at either. Can you enjoy that unlimited PTO at Netflix or is it limited by a manager? How do you manage to relax and unplug given just 15 days of PTO at
- link Google getting a union. Time to short Google? Looks like Google employees want to form a union. If history is any indicator, this is a disaster for knowledge based economy that will promote mediocrity and make sure poor performing employees are not fired and employees who performe exceptionally well are not rewarded. Maybe time to short Google?
- vote Google 🇮🇳v/s Amazon 🇬🇧 Still confused I still so much confused between Google and Amazon offer, not able to decide at all.

- Eng jobs in London London, UK How much do senior/staff eng earn in max possible TC? Does it differ much between FAANG+ and local players? Do EMs make better £ or have better career mobility? Want to move, but concerned about either depending on meta/google too much (if I get bored/fired, not much else to pick from)
- vote DoorDash E6 vs unique opportunity in VC? I got an offer for DoorDash E6 (250K base / 300K annual equity / 50K signing) DoorDash seems meh overall, though I like their hustle and comp. Concerned about the possibility of layoffs if people stop using their service, as well as lots of comments on the bad WLB + culture. I also have a unique o
- Which big tech companies fire mediocre employees? I work for Google. You should be horrible in order to get fired. As long as you are mediocre - You have job security (Googlers, correct me if i'm wrong). It's not an optimal strategy, but it's convenient for me as an employee. Is it the same for other big tech as well? How is it in FB, Amazon, Micro
- vote Is it worth it to keep interviewing at Amazon and Google if I have a Meta E4 offer? I'll use bullet points: - No numbers yet, but I got a swe offer from Meta for remote E4 - My partner earns $100k and would have to quit their job if we moved - I'm still interviewing with Amazon and Google Are Amazon and Google even worth considering if good remote culture is a priority for me? I'l

- How is it like working at Google really? I hear things about good WLB and it's rest and vest. How good is the WLB really? Like if I just work 2 hours a day and slack off, and just keep giving the same update during the daily stand-ups, will I still not be fired? Interested to know how is day-to-day working like at Google.

- My dream company is Meta but I can't pass the interview. What do I do? My non-tech friends and family think that I'm so great when they find out that I work for Amazon. But the tech insiders like us all know that Amazon is a p.o.s with bad salary, poor working conditions, minimal perks (pretty much none) and the company does not care for the society. I feel embarrassed

- Since we're on the subject of Google... Let me start by saying I in NO way want to or intend to discuss the manifesto fiasco. But what I do find strange about the whole thing is how Google jumped to be a knight in shining armor to the sensitivity and well being of employees when, in my first hand experience, they have some of the most su
- Google is a Toxic place? Read the James Damore lawsuits against google. I really don’t think that James has a legal basis in his case. However what makes me wonder is that google tolerated those SJW assholes. Sure fire James but google should also fire the person who threatened damore. Looks like a very weak management tha

- How easy is it to get fired at your company? I know some companies like Google and Microsoft are supposed to be 'won't fire ever' whereas Facebook and Uber are fire-happy. Is this perception true?
