Senior leaders at both have contacted me about interesting roles. Can anyone fill me in on differences - culture, professional growth, work life balance, leadership, etc. Does comp differ? I feel like HQ would be more familiar as a technical environment while YouTube may be more niche, but possibly loads of fun. How can videos not be fun. πΏπΏπΏ I am more focused on HQ - am I making a mistake?
Comp does not differ. Culture is broadly similar, but depends on your team. I'd encourage you to decide which office based on your own commute preferences and teams that look interesting to you, and otherwise assume that both offices are identical.
Each PA at Google has a pretty different culture. YouTube is a bit on the conservative side - shipping new things can be challenging.
What does PA mean in the Google context?
The HQ is too big, multiple sites and campuses in MTV. Some YouTube are in MTV, some are in SB. Go for a project you like and a team you enjoy to work with.
YouTube is mostly young crowd, college grads.
