Not toxic Great work life balance One of the best pay per hours worked
Bloated. Work is not that good. Lots of coasters. Transfer learning is low because of internal tech
Tipped by a friend of a friend that google is in the talks of being acquired by Alphabet
Question for Google employees that joined the company through acquisition, did you get RSUs as part of your package?
Do you guys remember FitBit? Everyone made fun of them for it even at the time. Why didn’t they acquire something meaningful like Garmin and/or Strava? Ridiculous
TC- 350K Fitbit folks, How does your new comp look like? What percentage of increase did you get as part of Google offer after acquisition? I believe fitbit folks will receive their unvested fitbit stocks usd amount as part of paycheck on regular vesting schedule. In addition to that how Google c...Read more

Anyone have a guess? Will they acquire another software company or will they buy a chip design company? Does Nutanix make sense as a target? I don’t remember Google buying such a large cap company($~10bn)
Google + Mandiant: Transforming Security Operations and Incident Response. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/google-completes-acquisition-of-mandiant Do you think this acquisition will help speed up hiring reprioritization for GCP folks and do you consider this a good news or...Read more
Say a company L is getting acquired and I'm in the middle of interviewing. I hear I need to reinterview again once acquired? Is it easier/harder/different? Is there a financial upside?
Mandiant is being acquired by Google for all cash. Existing mandiant stock that anyone holds will be converted to cash as well at a specific price. RSUs will be converted to cash at the existing vesting time lines as well. All Mandiant employees will sign new contracts with Google when the acquisit...Read more
Google recently acquired phiar which is an AR company that assists in navigation. What do you all think of acquisition spending while having a hiring freeze and potential layoffs? Maybe it’s for the benefit of the company vs the employee, to add new ideas while trimming the fat. #google
Hello, Just curious about Fitbit Google acquisition. Is it still happening?
when google acquires a company, do the employees from the acquired get leveled based on google’s payband or keep the existing TC? @looker @nest
Currently non-tech role, started about a year ago, before the acquisition was announced. A few months into my role I realized I really don't like what I do, and I've recently started applying and exploring other opportunities. I'd love to work at Google and wait for the acquisition to close, and I ...Read more
Only people who passed Google's standards AND dying to work for them actually get hired by Google. Because of that they get to pay for passionate talents that are willing to work at a lower TC. Amazon's PIP culture is very well known. Because of that, people who accept their offers are either PIP f...Read more
I love fitbit as a product and would love to work there. However I am not sure if fitbit employees will be laid off after Google acquisition goes through? Can someone from fitbit shed some light on it?

I used to be a group tutor in college and had a classmate who would attend my tutoring session for the simplest problems. He barely passed the classes with endless helps from our group members. Out of school I joined Google and worked hard for 2 yrs to reach L4 just a month ago. This classmate join...Read more
