I know every company has its pros and cons but down the line we have created a stereotype about companies
Few of them are

Amazon - shitty work culture. PIP life

Google - A good overall package but not faced pace

Facebook - high TC with unethical work

Microsoft - peanut TC with wlb

TikTok - 996 culture

Please comment other stereotype that blind has created.

Blind tax - 190K

    I hate it Everytime people talk about Amazon pip but not stripe or FB pip

    For those that don't know

    Facebook and Stripe both have forced stack ranking or curve fitting whatever you may call it.

    And about 10-15% is forcefully given bottom rating (FB's MM).

    2 back to back MM ratings and you are pipped. there might be no explicit pip quota but there is a system in place that forces a certain percentage people out every year.

    You can add lowballing offers to Google as well

    Stripe - Great TC but bad WLB
    Databricks and Datadog - Blue chip unicorns

    GitHub I don’t see having a strong stereotype TBH on Blind

      Pay is there. But the problem is that they downelevel instead of rejecting. Someone with 5 YOE is downeleveled instead of getting rejected. Other companies just outrightly reject if performance is sub par.

      That's why people think they cracked Google but start ranting because it's a downelevel.

      Also Google's initial offer is an insult. But with competing offers they pay appropriately.

      I think google is at a point where Amazon was a couple of years ago.
      They are letting this “prestige” bullshit go to their head.
      I hope they realize it soon and straighten up their game.
