Good compensation Grandfathered into WFH Actually big data At least 10 words
Tech stack is outdated and overly complex Huge bureaucracy, work more in Google docs than writing code
Google is testing how far they can go with these layoffs. Instead of a single announcement, this is done by organization at weekly intervals. CEO sent out an email that more to come throughout the year. Yay! Welcome to new Google folks!
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...Read more
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...Read more
I've been at Google for 4 years. I know that Google is supposed to be one of the better companies in terms of WLB... yet I find myself stressed, tired, and overall frustrated with the work here. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be happier and less stressed by working at a no-name or "lower tier" company, ...Read more
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.

Is Google definitely more stress free? I'm willing to take a hit at my career growth for more time to focus on my hea...Read more
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...Read more
I wanted to share something that I've been unable to tell my close friends, and it's been killing me inside. Apologies in advance if it's not appropriate. (New to the community) We all know what the next week is going to shape up for APAC. I've been in Google for 2.5+ years and was up for promotion...Read more

Holly shit, those most frequently asked questions are hard. I got premium LC, and I go straight to the solution tab. I only have a month and I realized it had been quite a long time I did not do any LC. Suggestions?
