Many people on LinkedIn who work at YouTube have “YouTube” as their employer as opposed to Google, which I find weird since Google owns YouTube. Inside Google, is there any difference between people working at YouTube vs say something like Google Cloud in terms of refreshers, career growth and movi...Read more
