I think googles perks are generally better. Better 401k matching, education benefit, offsites. Facebook has 21 days pto for all while google has 15, 20 and 25.
is it true google matches 50%? sounds absurd
Microsoft matches 401k at 50% as well
My favorite FB perk is free lunch Wednesday + no meeting Wednesday, so you could either choose to stay home and chill or come to office and go to some nice restaurant with colleagues for free. Wednesday is like Friday to me.
How do you get free lunch on Wednesday?
Only applies to non mpk, sf offices though. Also imo not that great of a perk. I can just buy a meal at a restaurant if I want
Food is better at FB Google has offices in many cities and countries. Depending on your team/manager, you can often travel and work from remote offices. Some FB offices give free rideshare credit to take Lyft Pool to work, for commuting, e.g. Seattle. Google overall has more breadth in office presence and range of perks, but many of them are getting watered down.
Is the food still decent? Ot has it gotten bad enough that people eat out or pack lunch?
It's free food. Edible, but often feels highly cost engineered to fit a budget. MTV food is noticably worse than other offices.
Already discussed multiple times, fb perks are better. They aren’t cost cutting like google is with Ruth at the helm - subpar food, limited visitor visits, small number or no to go boxes, more stringent or no travel business class, etc
He cannot do much if his boss doesn’t give him enough budget. Sundar is the one who controls this. My guess is Google will turn much like to Microsoft - high stock growth with stock buyback, stagnant salary increase, and cost cutting at various places. Good for shareholders, bad for employees
Ruth is a woman. And Sundar does not control things at all.
Free food should be included in TC. How can I maximize my FC (food compensation)?
Make all of your cafeteria and microkitchen decisions based on the cost of materials/ingredients
Just eat 12 meals a day, if you can :-)
Worked at both. G is good, Fb is noticeably better at least on classic campus. Food is better quality, more options, and way more available (fewer huge lines, lots of quick options). Micro kitchens are better stocked. Overall more generous and less friction when using.
How does the online fitness facilities like at FB MPK?
