I’ve been at Google for 10 years now and have seen the change from a great company culture and working on ambitious and innovative projects to what it is today. I still consider Google a great company but I’m not a fan of the recent changes like GRAD, cost cutting, execs blaming employees on productivity when its their own system they installed with cost and vest being tolerated, and many more changes since the earlier Google. From the sidelines I’ve watched Microsoft also change their culture since Satya and a lot of the changes are appealing to me e.g. focus on collaboration in perf, personal development, great industry partnerships, and revenue focus on cloud and productivity solutions rather than advertising (not a recent change but something I’m starting to care about more). Can anyone who transferred from Google to Microsoft (or the other way around) comment on their experience? Especially perf, culture, and upward mobility? Should I expect a big drop in TC? YOE 10 (L6 in Product Strategy) TC at Google $410k
Please don’t join Microsoft. Annual stock rewards are no where close to what you get at Google for same level ( assuming you will be mapped to L65) .First 4 years you might make better TC if you negotiate initial stock grant really well. After that, big drop in TC will make you quit.
Op is thinking because of rest and vest as that is about to over there
Please edit to make this readable.
At L65 MS won’t meet your comp but everything else is true. I been here for Gates, Ballmer and Satya. Satya is the best all around CEO. Gates was the best tech CEO. Ballmer was a joke.
Pretty sure most of that Msft stuff sounds like a fluff.. Msft prioritized PR more.. Google is a relatively better company in all aspects… I wud skip both and go somewhere u can learn and make shit more TC..
What is GRAD
Google's new PIP program
Why microsoft? Google is better company

Microsoft is all showmanship from Top to Bottom. The stuff that you’ve written is all marketing. None of these actually happen on ground. If this was so true then we wouldn’t be bleeding resources. Save yourself and don’t come here.
