Google Quota
- link James Damore sues Google for illegal hiring quotas About time to stop this race and gender based hiring/promoting quota system. Discrimination in any shape or form is unacceptable. You cant complain being discriminated if you willing to accept discrimination practice that benefits you. Hypocrisy. I sincerely hope more lawsuits against these discri
- Google Customer Engineer - Quota Attainment Hi all, Evaluating an offer from Google vs staying at my current role. Google TC for Customer / Sales engineers has 42% of OTE coming from bonus/commission. My obvious question is how often does the CE team hit their number? Having such a large portion of OTE coming from bonus/commission, one need

- AWS L6 vs GCP Sales Offer I received offers from AWS and GCP sales. TC is similar - 310 for AWS and 325 for GCP. AWS has 60/40 base commision split and GCP is 40/60. GCP not sharing level. Need help in deciding. TC aside, which is better in terms of work culture, quota attainment, career growth, challenges? Anything else I

- vote Do you still want to work for such 🗑 companies (Amazon/Facebook)? They might hire you just to fire you, be aware! These URA/PIP companies can give you a mental breakdown. F9ck these PIP practices! Join Google/Apple/Microsoft for no PIP’s. We don’t have URA quota like these shitty companies! https://outline.com/JTrxEk

- Lots of company have stack ranking and PIP quota but why only Amazon hire to fire? Lots of company like FB Google Netflix Snap have stack ranking and PIP quota but why only Amazon hire to fire? Just curious is it because Amazon is too big or hire to fire also happens in other companies just not on media yet.

- GCP CE L5 290 (no sign on) vs APPL Sr Data Engineer 300 (with sign on) Which opportunity is better for career growth? Are the TC numbers reasonable for Bay Area? GCP has more variable pay based on sales quotas. So, in effect, take home will be around 260. YoE- 11 years
- new H1B requirements are bad for top tier American SWEs With the elimination of WITCH H1Bs, more H1Bs will go to SWEs in highly paid top tier firms (eg. FAANG), which would mean more supply/competition for these roles (potentially lowering wages). American SWEs in top tier firms should oppose this new H1B bill unless it comes with a corresponding reduct
- If G decides to hire you at L5 but no quota (headcount), will they hire you 3 months later? If Google wants to hire you as L5 but they don't have the quota for it, and they don't want to hire you as L4 or L6, so then they have to reject you. Will G "automatically" hire you 3 months later, or 9 months or one year later, pretend to give you an interview but indeed just to hire you? #google
- AWS Sales to GCP L6 sales leader at AWS, coming up on 5 years. Path to L7 is unclear and thinking of making a switch. Would GCP be a step down? Currently making $425k on Tech 67 band (meaning if my team hits their quota, i get 67% of my base). This is capped at 367%. I have heard that GCP only gives 40% of base.
- Amazon engineering managers boycott I think the amazon culture is result of amazon engineering managers who are not able to push back PIP culture to their managers. These managers have a choice (to leave company). I have heard some of them saying "If I don't do it then someone else will" which is true but that is a statement which mos

- Diversity Hiring for New Grad University Students? I heard that some companies, like Facebook, have so-called diversity hiring policies that will set a quota and limit the number of students they hire from one single school. That is to say, they will hire an equal number of students from every school. Is that true? What other companies have such pol
- Performance Evaluations at Google PSC at FB/Meta is notoriously cutthroat and stressful, with rumours about how there’s an MM quota, managers playing favorites, people getting surprise PIP. How does this compare to performance cycles at Google? I just don’t see as many Googlers complaining about this. Do people at Google care less

I know Google is known for putting a lot of emphasize on quality and being slow at times. How’s the balance at Netflix? Does the hire and fire culture at Netflix affect the tea
- GCP Customer Engineers - what are your tasks and how did you prep for interviews? Numbering the questions for readability: 1. I've been researching on Blind for a while and many say that CE is more like a sales role. Is it like Developer Relations/Developer Advocates (I assume the customers of GCP are developers instead of end-users)? 2. I've seen people mentioning quotas, I've
- Coinbase Culture & PIP for New Grads Posting for a friend. He just got new grad offer from Coinbase. However, the posts and reviews on Blind about Coinbase's culture (PIP, 55+ hr per week) really scared him off. Does the mandatory PIP quota actually exist in Coinbase? Would appreciate if anyone from Coinbase can comment on this :) TC:

- meritocracy in silicon valley is officially dead – diversity killed it time to find a new industry. observations: 1) google and fb are so afraid of the outside and improving their diversity metrics that they have now instituted quotas for hiring only female candidates. 2) i recently interviewed a fb product manager candidate that should not have been hired but was hi

- How is Principal Engineering at Amazon? I recently got to Staff SWE at Google Research. As soon as I updated my LinkedIn, I got engaged independently by 2 Amazon recruiters who specialize in Principal/Distinguished roles. It's not obvious I'd even clear the bar, and I hear all these horror stories about Amazon, but OTOH I'm not likely to
- Help me understand the gender disparity It seems like women are underrepresented in tech and a lot of people care about this and think it's a problem. It looks like most companies try to address this by increasing the funnel for underrepresented groups, some companies set out a quota. But females make up 20% of CS grads, and at least at
- Disappointed after trying GCP Long time AWS user. Tried GCP for a personal ML project. So frustrated and disappointed! By default, everything is turned off.

- Is Hate toward amazon exaggerated? Having discussion with some friends who work in FAANG. It seems the google ones are having very relaxed work and team. They were mostly machine learning engineer L4. The meta ones mention work is team dependent but overall not too bad. Now the Amazonian in the discussion were the strongest in terms

- Is Amazon's PIP Culture the Worst Among All? My PIP Experience and Got a Double TC Raise After Jump I've been in Amazon for almost 2 years, and I'm still constantly fear of being PIPed. We have a joke that Amazon is a fear-driven development as opposed to TDD. Recently the fear of being PIPed becomes the reality: I'm told that I'm entering into PIP, which I'm surprised because during previous 1-1
