How are other company lounges?

Oct 8, 2016 19 Comments

MS lounge is pretty dark; mostly complaints q about culture and relatively low pay and less relevant products.

Are other company lounges dominated by similar negative posts?

  • based on how companies appear in tech lounge, here is my stab at a sweeping generalization:

    Microsoft: company lounge is full of aspiring stand up comics, the elders jaded, the interns and new comers looking for pointers on how to play the office politics game. MS seems to have the most active posters here, an interesting group of characters.

    apple: people from the is&t units begging for jobs anywhere but there.

    Uber: the largest self hate by any company here. private forum likely filled with smoke and flames.

    LinkedIn: millions of posts seeking numbers for the pending mass exodus due to ms/li merger.

    Google: maybe not much. other than engineers being engineers. constantly correcting their teammates spelling and grammatical errors. or pointing out how their org does X technology or integration better than you ..

    Netflix: not much. I think they're too busy counting the 0s in their back accounts.

    Amazon: a constant stream of peace out and goodbyes, from the exodus employee s to the new WA tech companies (fb, goog).

    Snapchat: they don't seem to post much, but I suspect they're is a lot of recent discussion on where to buy the cheapest wheelbarrows in order to cart that pending IPO cash home.

    Uber's quite entertaining, if you like horror stories

    Mostly chatter about pending/never-ending layoffs, salary discussions, and general confusion about where we are going.
