Google VR
- AR/VR at Google Anyone who works there and can shed the light on the org, products, culture? I googled and ended up on the official G website talking about Google Earth and Cardboard, THAT’s IT? No XR? Curious to see if I’m missing something, but from a quick search it doesn’t seem Google invests much in that spac
- Google VR Teams Are there any teams within google working on VR? I'm currently in team matching and have a background in VR (Master's w/publication). If you're on a VR team I'd love to chat about what you do! #google #vr

- Google cloud vs VR? Any recommendations on teams within google?
- Google VR group good/bad? I went thru some phone screens for a role on the google vr team. was told the position filled with someone farther along the process pipeline (tho who knows) I wasn't super eager to leave my current role but still wonder if I should have mustered up more energy for it. is the team awesome? normal?
- Does Google have any team working on AR/VR? I know in the past Google had the Tango project, and afaik Google Glass is still used for enterprise. Are these teams still around and growing? What are their names? #arvr #software #engineering #google #googlehardware
- Google HW IC5 vs FB AR VR IC6. Any thoughts? Hi guys, Any thoughts on working at Google as IC5 vs FB IC6 in Operations. Work culture, people etc?
- Google just got easier: no more team matching Google hiring policy change. Will no longer do team matching, it'll become team-based hiring instead. - Before: 4 algo rounds general hire -> Hiring committee - Now: 2 algo round + 1 domain knowledge + hiring manager round (all team-specific) The rationale is current system outputs a lot of fal
- link Killed by google - employee experience Google keeps getting voted as the best company to work in Blind but I wonder how they take care of employees when it decides to kill a project (which is quite often). I hear they loathe long term investment in emerging tech (like VR) and end up killing them if it does not produce revenue in a couple
- vote Who will win VR / AR? Thought Microsoft was in the lead with HoloLens until they announced tethered VR. Google and FB are announcing untethered VR, and Spectacles / "world filters" are just the start of Snapchat's vision. Who do you think will win?
- Hi Meta, WTF is metaverse? Please explain like I'm 5. Googling all day past two days and am still convinced it's VR rebranded (e.g. being IN World of Warcraft)
- vote Meta is better than Google At least Meta is trying some innovation through AR/VR stuff and Metaverse. They are constantly reinventing themselves. What is Google doing? Just surviving off people‘s data and advertising. They just have a bunch of smart engineers who like to get low balled and down leveled. Google📉

- Companies that pay > $400k for Senior I'm currently IC5 (two promotions above new grad) at Meta (Reality Labs) with 3.5 YOE earning ~$420k TC. Assuming Meets All ratings and no promotions, once I hit the 4 year cliff I estimate my TC will drop to around $400k, and the subsequent year it will drop to around $360k. This estimation factor
- Best place for VR/AR? Obviously the market’s not there yet and we’re still in very early stages of the medium. But who do you think are the best VR/AR companies (small or large) for the following?: • R&D • Stability • Risk-taking/pioneering • Strong leadership • Strong Design/Eng/Product collaboration • Culture • WLB •
- Is Metaverse vision bound to fail? FB is betting big on Metaverse. Do you think it is bound to fail? Zuck is betting billions of $ that everyone will buy oculus and VR will take off. The devices are still bulky, troublesome to use. I’m skeptical of this optimism on AR/VR which is almost 10 year old tech which has failed miserably
- Facebook doesn’t have in it what it takes to build great products Worked at Apple and Google before. I don’t think Facebook has what it takes to build great products. Everyone is cutting corners to score points in PSC. Facebook has not built a thing except the social network. Any major product has been an acquisition. Rest is all improvements. I don’t think FB h

Also any insight into which teams are projected

- Why doesn't Facebook diversify? Why is Zuck so brain stuck on the social media? It currently hit a thredshold on user acquisition and is no longer able to grow its user base. It's basically stagnant and a value stock. With its employees among the top brains globally. It can go into other sectors (outside of social + VR) and WIN S

- What do hiring managers want to see from AR/VR SWE job applicants? Title of this post is my question. My career so far has been in cloud infra and distributed system (5+ years). It's a good skill set to have in general in the modern tech industry, but I don't want this to become my long-term focus. However, transitioning into AR or VR seems to be kind of tricky, s

- Why has Facebook done so little in the name of verticalization? Compared to Google, which has its own OS (2 of them, in fact), hardware, app stores, and browsers. By verticalization, I'm talking about owning the means of consumption. They tried getting their feet wet in mobile with a Facebook skin of Android but doesn't seem like they pursued that very hard.
