Hey y’all just have some questions about GCP and teams in the Seattle area. About to start team match with G in Seattle. Hear horror stories about GCP, doesn’t really bug me too much though, living a horror story in AWS.

If TC is better, is it worth? What are some of the most interesting or large scale teams you know there? I hear oncall pays, is oncall rare since there’s teams with SREs?

TC: 140k of 🥜🥴

    GCP is pushing as fast and as hard as they can for revenue growth and market share. It's fast paced, not the rest-and-vest culture of elsewhere in Google. I love playing the role of challenger. Keeps you hungry.

    TC is better, no PIP culture, and perhaps most importantly Google equity is front-loaded for vesting vs Amazon which makes you get to year 3 to unlock significant portions.

    Lots of peers have joined from Amazon. Don't know a single one that went back.

      I think I can agree with this sentiment, I don’t mind the extra work provided they’re at least paying for the extra work lol. Amazon requires it and I make substantially less for the same or more

      Any particular teams you can recommend?

      GCP is a massive org with many product verticals (like AWS). The only one that I hear is a bit crazy is Compute, but it's also the cornerstone of GCP and used by everyone so it has the highest exposure.

      Any other vertical is probably fine

    Gcp is better than aws but worse than Google as google has high standards. Gcp is good you will feel much safer at least no pip for now.

      Thanks for the response! Do you mean the people have high standard in GCP? Or people have high standards of what a good team/org within all of Google is

      Seems like it’s probably better TC, better than my team, but could be a better experience in a different G team

      I think they meant rest of google teams are different on hiring stratergy. They hire more conservatively and have higher overall bars. Also not all google teams are rest and vest some are fast moving too. But gcp is disorganised.

    In Amazon, been through 28 sev2s a week, been through a sev3 issue but VP chimed in and say " guys, any update? I want this to be fixed by EOD.".. I survived for 3 years.
    I wonder how horror GCP could...
