Not toxic Great work life balance One of the best pay per hours worked
Bloated. Work is not that good. Lots of coasters. Transfer learning is low because of internal tech
We provide many unusual benefits for our employees, including meals free of charge, doctors and washing machines. We are careful to consider the long term advantages to the company of these benefits. Expect us to add benefits rather than pare them down over time. We believe it is easy to be penny wi...Read more
Both equity grants vest over 4 years but Google is front loaded TC $500k (including appreciation) 12 YoE
Got an L4 offer from Google. TC is $340k/year (excluding sign-on and refresher). I heard this number is already the median of their L5 new hires. I'm L5 at my current company. Also got L5 equivalent offers from a few companies that are going public this year or 2020. The highest one has a TC of $480...Read more

Reading about Google pre-ipo, I really want to experience something similar. Google now is not the same. Is there any startup now with the same culture and talent? #startup #google
What would be best for me long term? I'm going to go to a new company soon. My choices are pre ipo companies, like Uber, lyft, airbnb, ect. Or to be l3 at Google or Facebook. 1.5 yoe, TC 140k Edit: I'm also unhappy where I am. I'm not sure if it's a "grass is greener" scenario, but I feel like I ...Read more
I'm a long time Googler that's been stuck at L3 in the program manager ladder. I'm interviewing at various other smaller companies and am now being asked for my compensation requirements. The roles I am being offered are Senior level. My question: how much should I expect in terms of full comp (sala...Read more
What do they do when you have a competing offer where the salary is 120k higher than salary+bonus band?
I keep reading google low balls. I have an offer to join a post IPO company with unclear future for 475K, for L5/SDE3 equivalent role. TC at new company is 475k. The future of the company is unclear. I might be there for two years, I might be for 4. Great refresher policy (similar to the one Faceboo...Read more
Recently got an offer to be a Technical Sourcer at Google for a pretty comfortable salary, but I’ve heard horror stories about Google Contractors and their treatment. With that said, I would love the opportunity to work for Google, full-time, after my contract is up. I’m currently balancing between...Read more
15 years ago, everyone wanted to join Google and Facebook as they were the next cool thing. However, FAANG companies have hired everyone and their mom over the past decade that it's not considered "wow" or anything to work there anymore. Where did the smartest/most ambitious people you know go? Sti...Read more
Google is great but not sure there's much growth at the moment. Flexport and Rippling are on a similar situation with an opportunity for IPO in the near future. I've heard some shady things about Rippling but any advice here would be amazing. 10 YOE

Been at LinkedIn for about 4 years, but got dropped off a cliff and most of the motivated and competent members from my cross-functional team left for Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, and the like. The ride was fun while it lasted I'm also looking for my next play, whether pre-IPO or well-established...Read more
Currently L6 at Amazon. I understand that tech salaries across FAANG at this level can range from $250-400k. With new pay bands, I expect to make ~$300k by next year or ~$350k if I jump to Google or Meta. What would be the TC for PMs at this level in pre-IPO mid sized tech companies? I am thinking W...Read more
