[Perception from nontech] Apple > Google = Microsoft > Meta >>> Amazon >>> Netflix, Uber, Airbnb, Expedia
Looks like non tech consumers think Apple is the best, and Netflix is like Roku, Airbnb is like Expedia, etc. So different from how Blind sees
Im sure Google even to non tech ppl feels like the top of the chain. I think Google has this aura that its Harvard of all companies. Dont think MSFT has that feeling
I agree but I think it depends on who you ask. Google is mainly B2C and has products like Maps, Chrome, Search, GSuite, Calendar, Android, YouTube, Gmail, products that touch people on a daily basis. Microsoft has great perceptions from corporates, gamers due to xbox
MSFT is associated with windows still by non tech people.
The most navel gazing of navel gazing posts
I think Netflix is too low…
I dunno, people tend to get excited when they hear where I work. But I also don't go around flexing my employer, so sample size is mostly limited to Uber drivers and a small percentage of social encounters.
There is no actual hiearchy. You're making it all up.
Apple is the best. There is no question about it
My brother-in-law (non-tech) asked me why I would leave a job at Microsoft and join a low key company as Airbnb. I am sure my extended family feels I help with customer support for Airbnb.
WHY ARE YOU MAKING THE CLEANING FEES SO HIGH
@SALESFORCE BECAUSE WE CAN
I prefer no attention and laughing to the bank
There are pro and cons to any company
How about Square?
I doubt they know what Square is, besides they pay stuff using Square kiosk without realizing and use CashApp
Lol what No one outside tech knows square.
