I’m seeing a LOT of folks joining Google recently, and wondering if they are “lowering the bar” due to growth. I know this statement makes me sound like a certified a-hole, but I’m only asking because I want to apply again, and hoping my chances are better. Desperate I know. #GoogleFan TC: $165k
It still impresses people at parties if that’s what you’re asking edit: outside the Bay Area
No such thing
Google pays less than many companies.. and is hiring a lot. It's no 5 that impressive
If google is not prestigious in tech, then what is? Facebook/amazon hire even more rapidly.
In tech, I think Google stills carries a lot of prestige. In finance, maybe Renaissance Technologies.
The prestigious company to go for right now is stripe.
Stripe is similar to Uber or Dropbox few years ago.
What prestige? Where can I find them prestige?
All I care about is TC and interesting work. Who cares about "prestige" lol
prestige can bring you interesting work and tc tho
Nah man. Prestige is just for outside people. Doesn't make any difference in your day 2 day life. I wouldn't sweat it *just* for what people think of me. It's a great company, but prestige is a big word.
Anyone can get into Google if they grind LC enough, there's no prestige anymore imo and I think others know it.
Isn’t that same with every company tho lol
Agreed. I interviewed with Google twice with 3 years gap between both interviews. My first interview was far more difficult and felt challenged. Second interview was on par with Microsoft interview level, which is not really tough.
