Google Stress
- Google Stress Interview I can’t remember if it was in CTCI or EPI but I read about companies conducting “stress” interviews to see how a candidate reacts under pressure. Both times I’ve done the google interview, all interviewers were very pleasant except one who was particularly harsh/combative. I’ve seen this pattern bro
- link Google perf stress level I’m from FB and PSC (= Google Perf) system is driving me crazy, and keeps me constantly under insane pressure. I’ve been worrying about the rating in upcoming PSC cycle, if I can meet expectation, if the things I’m working on is impactful or helpful to my PSC, etc, all these stuff all the time. Al
- Is working at Google stressful? Working at Amazon has been a stressful experience, at times, for me. I joined Amazon around six months ago as a college grad. I have been, according to my manager, exceeding my expectations, but I still feel a lot of pressure. I can't help but worry about the possibility of receiving a PIP in the mo
- stress level at Facebook/Google I found my stress level high at Facebook (been here for less than 1 year). I think it is because of the focus on impact and moving fast culture vs good quality engineering work. I have never worked at Google before. I know this will probably depend on specific teams but will the work culture general

- Google is kicking ass during a stressful time! I have to be honest, initially I was disappointed at Google's slow response (delay of introducing wfh policy, etc). But now it seems like they are kicking ass! The way the entire company is handling the situation is impressive. They are collaborating with the gov to launch an informative website a
- How is stress at Airbnb/Uber/Google/Snap etc? I have been at FB for ~1.7 years. The stress level at FB has been insane. I joined E5, gotten GEs every PSC and just got promoted to E6 in 1.5 years. I initiated and led a large company wide work (spanning 4 orgs - 20+ SWEs), worked like a dog. How is Airbnb, Uber, Google etc. culture? I am thinkin

- Is it true that levels approximately at Google L5/L6 or Facebook E5/E6 is where the hustle stress is the greatest? From reading so many posts, and talking to friends up and down the ladder, it feels like all the cut-throat perf / PSC stuff is happening at those early leadership levels. Lower levels have lower expectations. Higher levels tend to operate like an algorithm. TC: 400k-600k (Can't be too specific bec

- Shamelessness of Google Due to stress of working at Amazon I saw a psychiatrist on the 31st of March. She later sent me an email to my gmail with the list of things I can do to reduce stress.
