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
I need to decide whether to accept a second Google internship or a Microsoft offer. I know that getting a second Google internship would better my chances at getting hired for a full time position, but having two big companies on my resume would make it stronger (?) Who would you hire? Some one with...Read more
I had 2 internship offers last summer, Datadog in NYC and Google in Waterloo, Canada. I ended up choosing Datadog mainly because of its location. I had a super fun summer and have successfully secured a return offer as well. So, I wanted to ask here, did I make the right decision? It still makes m...Read more
Most of the SWE interns who interned last Summer and who passed the hiring committee were rejected over a call. Google first asked them to wait till December for final decision. Then they were asked to wait till January end for head count finalisation. Then they were said to wait till March. In Mar...Read more
Hello, happy Thanksgiving everyone! I have an upcoming interview with Google for the Research Intern position. I searched about the format of the interview but couldn't find anything relevant. The recruiter told me that the interview will be based on my research and there won't be any programming q...Read more
Hello everyone, I was wondering how much one bad interview affects the Google intern conversion process. From my final meeting with my host, I'm pretty sure I'll get pretty good feedback for that piece of the packet, my concern is that although one of my conversion interviews felt good, the other ...Read more
Hi all, I was super fortunate to receive a Stripe and return Google internship for Summer 2021. I would love to hear your opinions on whether should I choose given that this is my last internship so this would be my fulltime company if I’m given a return offer. Stripe Pros: - I really like their i...Read more
Interned at Google in 2022. Now making 1/5 of my intern salary as a New Grad cashier at the local chicken restaurant. Couldn’t land a single New Grad job and had to look for non-tech roles. Is the Dot Com bust back in full swing? What should I do? TC: 28K
Saw the post on LinkedIn. Seriously? This is very unprofessional and unethical to revoke signed offers.
Which opportunity is better in terms of - project/team placement - ability to make impact - overall experience - return offer rate - anything else?
Is what I've been told correct?: Google: interns have to do 2 conversion interviews at end of summer, hear back 4-6 weeks after internship ends, no special full time offer Facebook: no conversion interviews, hear back by end of internship, increased stock and huge signing bonus ??
Do we have any non-swe technical interns working at Google? How much $$ do you make monthly?
Hi Blind! I'm deciding between Google and Stripe for a summer internship and would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. I was a Google intern last summer and had a wonderful experience but have always been really interested and curious about Stripe's product and culture. These offers are for St...Read more
How can a candidate in host matching best increase their chances of getting an offer? Also, what’s the probability of getting matched once in this pool if it’s already late December?
Both are SWE internship roles. Both are teams that are interesting to me. Trying to compare the two offers primarily in terms of full-time return offers but also the companies as a whole. I have a big concern/focus on promotions and layoffs, hiring freezes, etc that are going on. Any insight at all ...Read more
Is it possible to skip sending the transcript to Google before getting an Interview for internship?
Junior in college here. 3 months ago, I signed my return offer for a Snap internship. However, I recently (just) got a Google SWE intern offer, and I'm not sure what to do? I'm looking for this internship to convert me into full-time. At both of these companies, I'll be working on projects that I'm ...Read more
Im deciding between internships at Google or Facebook, and I'd appreciate any guidance! My pros and cons are just my impression, correct me if I'm wrong with anything. Google Pros: More prestigious I believe in the product(s) Cons: Seems like a very lax environment Still have to host match (pretty...Read more
Which internship to choose? I also heard that instead of having interns take 2 rounds of interviews Google will just give return offers this year.
I'm currently a Master's student at a tier 2 University. I recently had 3 telephonic interviews with Google for Summer internship. It seems I have a 4th interview coming up next week, which would again be telephonic. I was wondering if it's normal to have so many interviews. I'm also pretty late t...Read more
Particularly, Google SWE (Ph.D.) Intern and Student Researcher, PhD 2023 - 1. For these roles, does getting a referral help? Or, simply applying on the website is equally fine? 2. Hypothetically, failing interview for Fall intern, does it have any impact on summer 24 intern applications?
