Google Vs Rubrik new grad

As a new grad, does it make sense to choose a fast growing unicorn over a great brand name? How does it effect the career growth? How does it effect financial status in 2-3 years?

What was the compensation offered at Rubrik and at Google?

Amazon cqMI83 Sep 3, 2018

Definitely Google. Will open more doors in the future. You can always leave after a year. Also career earning potential will be higher starting at a big 5.

Should I consider the near approaching IPO of Rubrik ?

That is short term thinking. Google brand will open more opportunities in long run.

What the fuck is a Rubrik? I can guarantee you Google will get you much farther than some rinky-dink startup that nobody has heard of. Can’t believe this is even a question.

@848384. Yes. They are. I'm hoping I will get more responsibilities and have a chance to grow quicker in a small company that's doing great.

I never said my company was highly regarded. I’m saying in comparison Google > Rubrik in terms of prestige and what it will do for your career years down the road. Guaranteed 10 years from now people will still be googling questions, while Rubrik will be a name that fades into oblivion.

WTF is Rubrik? Do your resume and future earning potential a favor and go to Google. You'll have so many more choices in a couple of years!

Lol you wouldn't be the first person to leave Google and come to Rubrik. And you sure as hell won't be the last.

Any pointers? Why Rubrik over Google. I worked a year in Microsoft before joining NYU

Just a very strong engineering team. Lots of potential for learning and growth. The IPO is just a cherry on top. In terms of prestige, from what I've heard/seen Rubrik is considered one of the most prestigious places around (due to the strength of the team I suppose). All in all, seemed a good choice for me.

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want a smaller company where you can take on more responsibility faster, Rubrik makes sense. Whereas, for general branding and reputation, Google is obviously the wider known name. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions

I would add though that in most tech circles Rubrik doesn't really lose out in reputation. It's only about reputation and branding to the general public that Rubrik loses out. In that case, obviously, Google would be the best place/one of the best places to join in general.

All good and valid points. But you guys suck in making competing offers. Not just being cheap but being unfair - - want me to consider the equity at the EXPECTED IPO price - - how ridiculous is that?!! Why would anyone join with such a moronic equity grant? And this expected vlaue is no less than four times the value at which offers were being doled out a mere two month ago. You cannot get any respectful talent with such tactics, sorry.
