Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.

It's no secret that Google Cloud has hired bad managers from startups, Amazon, and some from Apple. My manager from one of these places has constantly been gaslighting me. higher ups don't even question them. I also work 50-60 hours excluding couple more from weekends. Why work like a dog when I can...Read more
