- Does sign on equity impact annual rewards at Google? I heard if you negotiate a high salary, then during annual review you will get less because the company wants to keep some sort of balance between everyone in the same level. I understand this from a base salary point of view (where the merit increase might be lower). But is this also applicable for
- Why google is shit Low pay Hostile to remote work Stupid low bar above new grad. For L4 they still don’t ask system design 🤣 New grads are mostly interns who lucked out on their coding questions.

- Thoughts on why Google is losing the market cap war so badly? As of this morning here are market caps for the largest tech companies: 1) MSFT - 970B 2) AMZN - 900B 3) AAPL - 832B 4) GOOG - 794B There is no reason why Google should be so far back, especially given their sizeable investments in so many future bets. Why are investors not rewarding Google the sa
- Reward and motivation "Rewards cause people to lose interest in whatever they were rewarded for doing." Google 'risk of rewards' for more. I wonder whether high compensation results in a short term boost to motivation and a cycle where the tree only thing that excites is the next reward and not the satisfaction of acco

- 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?
- Which companies have great refreshers? As title, would love to hear what companies have great refreshers - I.e rewarded based on performance, no set fixed target. List I heard: - meta - Google - snap (before they did away with stacking refreshers) - airbnb - pinterest.
- link So Googlers are unhappy with their pay? I think Bret Hill has delivered what he was hired for, to screw up Google's pay. Is this really such a problem or media is just blowing it up. But in last 2 years we keep hearing Google Low balling big time, so I think its part of a broader plan to overall lower Google's overall compensation. That
- Which companies are the new FAANG? Back in the day, Google, Facebook, Apple etc were the companies everyone wanted to work for - lots of investments, high salaries, and 'cool' factor. Now people are disillusioned, there are lawsuits, biased algorithms and AWOL visionary leadership. Which are the NEW cool companies to work for - and
- Question for Google and Facebook Managers Ya'll seen the tech org chart where Microsoft's culture is rather toxic especially towards the end of the year when it's time to stack rank our employees to determine rewards and bonuses? Curious to know what the reward process is for managers at other tech companies - Google and Facebook is of int

Two Sigma TC: ~527k y1, ~350 y2+ What % should two sigma comp increase yearly? I hear there can be decent raises? Tenure is rewarde
- Facebook culture much better than google Seems Facebook rewards people in a more objective and timely fashion, unlike google it also manages out low performances. I feel that’s a good thing. I have seen lots of people in google are just enjoying the life without doing anything useful for the company. That probably explains why google is fa
- Best stocks to invest : which report you read and why I am just getting started in stock market, so far I have stayed with top tech companies such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Apple. I have been rewarded well for my money. #stock, #stockmarket
- PIP but for features not people. Do companies already have practices like this? I am sure Google does, considering how often they sunset working products. Are any companies actively incentivizing or rewarding individuals for sunsetting or PIPing low-performing products/features?
- Does getting an intern do anything for your career? Does your company actually reward you for hosting an intern? At Google, it seems like a whole lot of work for not that much concrete material you can put on your perf. Maybe something related to leadership.
- Tired and need a change Tired of slogging all day and night. Working without breaks. Extremely burnt out and want to quit. No rewards or recognition for the hard work.

- Next set of data rich companies (FAANG’s)? It’s clear that data rich companies have reaped the highest rewards. E.g.: Amazon - consumption Facebook - content consumption Google - intent/interests Netflix - entertainment With this in mind what are the next data rich companies that will ultimately benefit from A.I. and disrupt industries?
- Why GOOG jumped while AAPL fell a lot and AMZN is flat after earnings when all 3 blew past all measures and projections? This quarter - big 3 had stellar earnings and projected higher growth for coming quarter/year, still Wall Street rewarded all 3 differently. Before anyone tries to defend that Google financials were so much better in comparison - do consider that GCP is a money sink and Google is getting its a$$ kic

- Cathie wood says ARKK is not a bubble “We are not in a bubble,” Wood told CNBC. “Our strategies would be flying if we were. I think we have not begun rewarding innovation for what’s about to happen. So that’s where our conviction comes from. The bubble is in the benchmark stocks (AAPL, FB, GOOGL, MSFT etc.)”

- Why doesn't everyone in the US use Bing? Microsoft pays out appx $5 a month, every month to anyone in the US just for using Bing through MSFT Rewards. Basically just flip your defaults. Cash in your points for GCs every couple of months.... Bing is about the same thing as Google at this point. Whatever, it's internet search, old tech. Laug

- vote Does your company significantly reward high performers? In Facebook we have the discretionary equity (DE) as a tool to reward top performers, as picked by the director, by giving them additional equity to vest over 4 years.

Any schemes in place

Down-leveled by hc to L3, quite upsetting since the recruiter mentioned that it will be hard to team match since they don’t get many PgM L3 positions.
