Why Google
- This is why Google lowballs There are tons of future Noogler waiting in line to join Google and post pic with Noogler hat and confetti. “This was my dream gmail -> google.com” Now it makes sense. Completely makes sense. Please “comment for better reach” or “++” 🤣🤣🤣 #futureNoogler #linkedin
- 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. Senior engineers from outside are all shit due to low bar and bad pay. Hiring process is extremely slow Work culture
- vote ‘Why Google?’ Google recruiters and interviewers never ask this question. What’s the reason?
- Here's why Google interviews suck 🤮🤮🤮🤮 In total I had 6 technical rounds. Aced 3/6 rounds and completely flunked 3/3 rounds.. The ones I aced had simple Bfs, sorting/set, heap, backtracking. LC easy-medium I would say. The ones I flunked had greedy+DP(2 of them), and one had a trick related to time complexity. All questions are uni
- Why Google was down? Google's mostly services were down today for a while. What do you guys think happed and what kind of action will the team or person may face who cause this problem with Google. @Google #GoogleDown
- Why is Google pushing so hard on RTO? Would consider Google as a good next employer… but absolutely have no interest in commuting to Mountain View. Anyone have a clear idea of why they have taken such a hard stance?
- Why Google didn't win in the cloud space Sunday discussion. 160K
- vote Why Google down leveling FB? I’m about to crack E7 at FB. Interviewed with G and got L5 offer 😕. Design interview not “good enough” for L6. I have heard similar from others that they got E5->L4 and E4->L3. Sure, FB promotes easily and some might not have had the time to build technical depth Google is on about 😒. But get
- Why would anyone switch from Google to Amazon? or any other FAANG/MAAMA to Amazon for that matter, given the PIPs
- Why is Google suffering but FB isn’t? Both their revenue sources are ads. Yet Google is the only one that seems to be cutting down on hiring. FB on the other hand, is giving bonuses and EE to all its employees.
- why is google considered boring? Why is google considered really boring? Have seen this sentiment across many posts on Blind. How does the scope, type of work, pacing contribute to this? Are there some parts/teams within google that are more interesting / exciting? TC 300K
- vote Why does Google down levels to L3? When I was in school/college and even in my early 2-3 years of working as SE, Google was my absolute dream company. 4 months ago I interviewed with them got L3, whereas other companies like Microsoft, Amazon all offered me one level up, and most offered better TC than Google. Recently a friend als
- Why 401k from Google sucks? Only matches 50% of what you contribute. A lot of company matches 100% to a threshold… and we are considered to have best benefits in the industry…
- Google Phone screening: why not Google Meet? Does anyone know why wouldn't Google use Google Meet for the "phone screening" part of their interview process (PM)? Don't they want to see the person to get a better sense of who they are? Or is this done on purpose to keep it as impersonal as possible? #googleproduct #phoneinterview #googleintervi
- Why Google engineers are not approachable? I have seen Google engineers do not respond in Blind or LinkedIn. I want to understand why ? Are they so busy being in Google or do they have signed some kind of document so they can't talk anywhere !!#tech #google #gcp
- Why join Google/Alphabet? Besides search and YouTube, what else is Alphabet doing that can be profitable in short/long term? Their phone (pixel) hasn’t caught on, Meta is eating on their Ads revenue. Goggle cloud is tiny as compares to AWS. Why should one join Albhabet? And are there long term prospects? Say 5-10 years?
- Why even interview at Google? Ridiculous questions. Very long process. Extremely high chance that you wasted your time and get rejected. Low TC compared to many competitors. I’ve never interviewed at Google. Why should I start when there are so many well paying companies with easier interviews?
- Why does everyone worship Google As someone who works there im baffled it keeps topping the polls of most desired workplace.
- link Why Google lowballs Guess Google has decided to become the IBM 2.0. No raises and amazing wlb. https://apple.news/A6H4MroqDTda8RME2RyLdjQ
- Why does Google not promote WFH? What's with all the posts about Google not supporting WFH? #google
- Google employees, why nothing for Easter? Is there a reason?
- Why google? Every poll and discussion, Google (or if Google isn’t listed, next top FAANG choice), tops the choice for recommendation. Even when it’s a worse choice in terms of everything except PrEStiGe. Between the choice of L6 at a newer startup / recently IPO’d one, where you have the choice of being a staf
- Why not Google? Google wins a lot of polls on Blind. If you don't want to work there, why not? Edit: I have my own reasons. Leaving Uber soon but didn't consider Google. Curious to learn others' thinking on this since 90% of time people on Blind are gushing about Google.
- Why do I feel so depressed after every Google interview? Sharing my latest Google interview experience and want to get some advice from this community. See if I can keep it brief… So this is my Nth time (so many that I feel embarrassed to disclose) interviewing for a google pm role. Last time was an attempt for L4, recommended to HC for the first time, t
- Why Google? Interviewed for an L6/L7 manager role with a clear expectation (clarified with recruiter and hiring manager) that the role does not involve coding and that they expect their managers to be technical so they can represent the team, understand the technology, guide/mentor the team etc. Lo and behold
- link Why Google is Still King 👑 Lots of posts like https://www.teamblind.com/post/Google-isnt-prestigious-rV7faBm5 going around bashing Google. Here are the reasons why it's still king. Let's analyze FAANG: FB: -40% stock drop in the last 6 months. Those who joined recently are screwed. Whole company bet on something that might
- Why is Google promotion so slow I’m currently L3 at G. I heard from my manager that even if I get two SEEs in a row, there is just small chance to get promoted this year, because there are other people that get similar ratings and they stay longer at G. Is it true that there are limited slots for promotion at each org? I think it
- Why does Google hate me this much? You can apply for only 3 jobs in a month. I applied to 38 jobs so far, i.e more than 2 years worth of applications, never got contacted :( Total applications: 38, recruiter call backs: 0 #tech
- Why did you leave Google? Folks who used to work at Google, what did you do at Google, why did you leave, where are you now, and do you regret leaving? #career #google
- Why are Google offers so low? On Blind Google is known to be the most prestigious in tech and tier 1 company. I recently got an offer and they were the lowest paying among 5 other offers by a wide margin. Also, they wouldn’t budge on the offer after negotiating. I’ve witnessed this among other engineers as well. What’s the hyp
- Why does Google low ball? Most posts I see about Google low ball here are by people with significant YOE. Is it because they work at shit hole companies prior to their Google offer? What gives? TC: 175k
- Why is GOOG > GOOGL? GOOGL has a vote, GOOG does not. I know that's not worth a lot in the share price, but don't understand why it's < 0... TC: 500k (prob 400k after Q1 earnings)
- Why is Google like this? I had an offer for $420 million dollars. Initially I had asked for $425 million. They short changed me. I had to walk away out of principal. Why is Google like this? Those penny pinching number crunchers!
- Why Work at Google? I just went through the full loop at Google, but I am wondering if I even still want the job if I am offered it. All the engineers I spoke to said that 95% of the code they work in is still in Angular 1. The one engineer said their team spent 3 years switching from Angular 1 to Angular 2. Why would
- Why not Google ? Google is 1000 times more evil that FB since it controls so much data . Why is FB facing all the heat ? Cambridge Analytica can very much happen with google but a lot worse , leaking almost every sensitive detail one can imagine including ssn, documents , passwords , your extra marital affairs , po
- Why Google to Amazon? Saw from LinkedIn someone moved to Amazon after 10 years at Google. Why? Isn’t Amazon bad to employees?
- Why Google Doc? Putting many engineers working on something free and no hope to gain the dominant market share. Could anybody tell me a reason why Google does that?
- vote why FAAN to google? why do folks who have already worked in respectable companies like FAAN or MULLA want to work for Google?
- Google obsession - why? I'm curious why so many people on Blind are hell bent on working at Google, especially if you're a more experienced engineer. I interviewed there in SV recently and got an L5 offer, but it was my worst interview experience. Half my interviewers were extremely awkward and not people I would want to w
- Why is Google pay so mediocre now for L6+? Why has Google become Microsoft in terms of pay? When I joined 10 years ago, Google was still pretty competitive in terms of pay. Then people started to take pride in getting paid little. With Ruth’s arrival, Google started to abuse this. Google currently can’t sustainably match my comp before L8, a
- Google why so slow Had my rounds done 2 weeks back. All positive. Have counter from FB but need to take decision on that next week and google is stuck waiting for hiring manager approval(even fit call has not been scheduled till now). After that they go to HC then to compensation committee. Why are they so slow? Isn'
- Why do people join Google despite downleveling I have noticed a lot of GPM/ principal PMs with several years of industry experience at companies like ebay, PayPal joining google as L5- it baffles me as to what is so amazing about this transition that people are willing to be downleveled? I'm personally contemplating leaving google after being he
- Why does Google lowball Keep hearing from friends and colleagues that Google lowball them. If there are recruiters from Google hear can you clarify what the strategy is. On a offer to accept ratio, is there not enough dropoff to justify matching some of the 'true value' numbers? #compensation #google
- vote Why isn’t GCP profitable? Founded in 2008, just 2 years after AWS Even TK came 3.5 years ago
- Why does Google downlevel? I got an offer at Google with 4 years experience at L3 but my pay is middle L4 band. Recruiter never communicated any issues with interview performance and everything was fine up until I specifically asked about the level. I was going for L6 at Amazon before I left. My question is: Why? My TC acco
- Theory regarding why Google downlevels The typical answer on Blind is "because they can". But this claim sounds something that can be said at the company level, not at the individual interviewer level. Eventually the interview loop consists of 5 engineers, and their opinion will largely determine the outcome*. Given the super slow promo
- Why is Google India hiring like crazy? Lol Why is Google India hiring like crazy for SWE roles? My LinkedIn is spammed with the Nooglers posts. I used to think their bar was very high, is it still being maintained? One more question (apologies if this comes across as sexist - I don't meant to mean any disrespect), I am seeing an unusually
- Why are Google stocks front loaded? Google gives 33,33 split in the first two years. What's reason for this, won't people leave after the two years?
- vote Why does Blind hate Google? Everyday there's a new post about Google downleveling, losing their innovative edge, lowering their hiring bar to get butts in seats, etc. Why does Blind have such a negative outlook on Google? I don't really see that anywhere but here. Forgot the blind tax: YoE: 1.5 TC: 145k
- Why are Microsoft and Amazon beating Google cloud so hard? Amazon is number one. Microsoft is a strong number two. Number three is not even close to number two. What’s wrong with Google? Why can’t their cloud product compete with Amazon and Microsoft? Why is Google so far behind? #google #amazon #microsoft
