Are there any good reasons to join Engineering Productivity EM role over Software EM role? Both at Google, same location/comp. Eg. WLB, growth/promotions, Eng Prod EM support for a product with interesting tech stack vs EM on a product with boring tech stack. Anything? Tc: $350 YOE: 8

Best org if you want superior wlb than most other teams at G
If you wanna hide out on an obscure team where nobody's ever gonna come looking for you then Eng Prod is your spot. If you want visibility and an express ticket up the career ladder Eng Prod is absolutely not the move.
Have you worked at Google?
That's a universal truism with Eng Prod teams. Even if they're good at what they do they're always on the lower end of the visibility scale unless their work gets made available outside the company. Many Eng Prod teams are also used as dumping grounds for putting r*tards and fuck-ups out to pasture in companies that are less aggressive about PIPping out underperformers so it's not a place you wanna be if you're trying to grow and move up.

Eng prod team at an org like Amazon or the likes is probably the beginning of a Saas startup. Can be a real force multiplier. I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly.
Do you know of any such Eng Prod teams at Google?
Yes
