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
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 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.

Which opportunity is better in terms of - project/team placement - ability to make impact - overall experience - return offer rate - anything else?
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?

Let's say you have a Bloomberg new grad full-time offer and a Google internship offer, you're about to graduate, what would you choose? Google full-time > Bloomberg full-time for me, but intern -> full-time conversion is not guaranteed.
Are recruiters willing to negotiate an internship offer? The offer seems average compared to Facebook and Microsoft. Google: $7350/mo and $9k (will be taxed) relocation and housing Facebook: $8000/mo and corporate housing Microsoft: $7250/mo and corporate housing (+No state tax in Seattle)
A while back, I did a Google SWE internship, didn't get a return offer. Reached all my goals (including reach goals) but didn't have good code quality. Am reapplying now, but I got straight up rejected, no interview. Is this legit? Would a bad or any no-offer internship result in a perma or semi-p...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

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 am a final year PhD student at a top-10 CS school. I will be a returning intern at Google and also have a verbal offer from Microsoft Research for an internship position and I am confused where to go. Going back to Google will land me an easy full time offer for sure. I am not sure if interning a...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
