I've been at Google for 5 months now (since May), the imposter syndrome is still here. The first three months, my team put me on a feature that a coworker held my hand through. Now I'm fixing bugs that don't really teach me about the system. Motivation to work through the day is not there. I feel li...Read more
Hi everyone! I am a Noogler and i am lost in the Mountain View campus. Can someone help me navigate my way around here if you’re in the office? Or on here? I’m wearing a 49ers jersey, 5’3 blonde girl, with a pink backpack. I was just leaving the gym and don’t know how I messed this up and am so em...Read more
I just found out that someone posted their Noogler kit which is pretty cool. Is this kit given to every Noogler joining in the US? #noogler
I joined Google India 2 weeks ago as L4 (not as new grad). Didn't receive any gifts, ONLY laptop to be exact. Do they not give goodies in virtual onboarding or what? Not being greedy, but it is a bit excitement of receiving Welcome goodies, and I wished to get that Noogler Hat.
Starting at Google soon and have to pick my equipment. The on boarding guide strongly pushes me to pick the Google Pixelbook, but I’m hesitant to pick that one for a few reasons: 1. Everyone else on the team I’m joining uses Mac or Windows, and I know how sometimes it’s a pain to ramp people up wh...Read more
I know many people who went to google and changed their titles to “Noogler” (as opposed to SWE) on LinkedIn. Is this somehow enforced for new hires at G?
Joining google next week as L4. I understand there is gonna be at least 4 weeks before I start working with my team. My team uses Java and I have 0 experience . Do you guys think I should use next 4 weeks to learn Java . Will that help me after I start working with the team ? TC: 290k #noogler
Thinking about picking a Chromebook (Pixelbook?). Been using macOS almost exclusively for the last decade but I'd rather not have to use that abomination of a keyboard anymore. Any particular reason I should/shouldn't choose a Chromebook over a MacBook?
Hey y'alls, I'm joining Google tomorrow as an L3 SWE-SRE. Any last minute tips for orientation and beyond? I'd like to get off to a good start 😀
Started at Google last week but didn’t get my noogler hat. @Nooglers! When did you get your swag? Old TC: $300K New TC: $410K
We are hiring while devlisting nooglers internally without regards to performance. They are just being fed into meat grinder. Wouldn’t be surprised if we rescind offers with how brutally things are being implemented here. What is the point of working at google now? More and more similar to amazon, ...Read more
Those who recently joined at google how do you feel about the remote onboarding and trainings ? Is there a noogler community inside google ? TC- 245k
Just accepted my offer at Google and starting in a few weeks (nontech). I’m leaning toward choosing the Macbook Air over Chromebook. Will I get a brand new laptop, or is there a chance I get an older model (ex. 2017 or 2018 Air)? Separately, for the Chromebook option, have people been getting Pixel...Read more
I have orientation in a couple of weeks and have a few questions around performance. How are expectations like CME or EE determined / measured? Do you set KPI's? How do you determine / set them? How do you show you're ready for a higher level? L4 / 240 / 3 yoe
Hi, Long story short, I am a self-taught Software Engineer. I got into Google purely through pounding leetcode to the point of getting good at coding competitions. While grinding leetcode for 4 years I worked at a few small <; 8 people companies to “build my resume” but didn’t learn anything at a
Joining as sde in network infra team. lead said I can pick whatever, but any recommendations? I'm between these three: chrome os 2021 dell, lenovo with glinux, or MacBook 2021? I know most things are gonna be done on cloud but any issues with any of these choices? what's the preference/go to for mos...Read more
Currently use MacBook Pro 16inch at work but also used Windows before that so no strong preference. Got following choices for noogler laptop. Is there any merit provided to encourage employees to pick Pixelbook? Recommendation appreciated! #noogler #laptop #google
Would people recommend getting a rental car for Noogler orientation in Mountain View or just using Uber/gBus? How hard is it to find parking on the Google campus?
