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
Dear PMs and Designers on Google Maps team, I know this new UI is being A/B tested but why does anyone think it is even worth a test?? I don’t have any map layers (ie. Traffic, transit view) on and it is already very difficult to read all the info on the map. I’m no expert in design principles - do...Read more
Google and Meta UI/UX was once the cream of the crop, now it’s absolute dog shit. Google/Meta folks, what happened? Are product and design teams scrambling for relevance and thus making unnecessary changes to justify their roles? Are the designers and PMs that were hired the last few years subpar?...Read more
Which designer chose the color palette for the iOS 17 Google Maps update? It’s so bad compared to before. The green and yellow are too light. Everything looks grey and indistinguishable. As a long time Google Maps user, this might make me switch.
Had my google virtual onsite this week. Think I did pretty well in the interviews except for the whiteboarding challenge. For the prompt I selected, I was really skeptical of why the product (a piece of hardware to facilitate a physical experience) was needed in the first place as opposed to the use...Read more
Buttons don’t follow standard design principles, loader is super pixelated and laggy, it isn’t responsive across screens. Low tier company that should fire the engineers and designers on this simple project
Well it was plain and simple and then they bring this fancy sh** load of information dump. Why?
I passed a screening interview with Google recruiter and I'll be submitting my portfolio and resume shortly. I am asking if anyone from Google design can help me to prepare for next interiews. Willing to pay :) Recruiter placed me into Interaction design so far. I'll really appreciate any informat...Read more
Why are they paid to make things worse? What are these tabs with random words? Anyone actually use this?
Currently in team match… Any insight on GCP vs rest of Google, experiences being in a UI focused team, or any info about GCP AI teams?
Is there a great tutorial for goog photos or alternatives that is non-technical boomer+ friendly? Post holiday observations from relatives: * They don’t know how to make new albums * They don’t where to see shared albums * They don’t know how to add photos to a shared album * They generally don’t ...Read more
What's this messed up crap that wastes so much space between page elements? I want my old layout back and there's no way to revert? Wtf. And no clear pointer to send feedbacks.
Wanted to know UI developers' experience working at Google India? Is the work good? Is your work valued at par with your peer's Backend contributions? Also if one wanted to try how should one prepare?
Recently I have noticed that Google has been putting extremely misleading UI elements in product/ pop ups. These are same as doing a scam in real life or misleading people.
Don’t fix what isn’t broken. My favorite Google product is shit now.
how much you make as UI engineer at L4 / L5 level at google / facebook
Passed the phone screen and was set to do an onsite interview. Spoke with the recruiter as I had some questions, and after learning about my background he switched me from the "New Grad" to the other Early Career hiring track, which forces me to do Team Matching before onsite. I was worried about my...Read more
I just hate every single UI change that Google has made across its products over the past couple of years. Every. Single. Change. The icons, especially the Gmail icon, the tab buttons in Chrome, the edits in the Gmail desktop app, the order of notifications in Android 11, the tiny arrow to expand no...Read more
I'm sorry if that offends some of you guys. But seriously, is that a known fact or it's just me? Try to open settings in Gmail and please tell me how can one use it in 21st century? #google #ui #ux
