Google vs Benchling vs Atlassian?
Expecting offers next week from at least one of these three (Google has given me very strong hints they’re sending an offer; others have yet to give feedback on onsites). I don’t have offer details yet, but assuming I get all three of them and they’re all similar in TC, what’s the best option? I’m leaning towards Google, but I’m thinking Benchling could be good for an IPO play, and I’ve heard lots of good things about what it’s like to work at Atlassian. I’m looking for good WLB but also solid TC. Thoughts? TC: 150k YOE: 3
Join google, build a resume, then think about other "companies and IPO"
Yeah, Google on the resume feels like a strong move in general. But I want to buy a house soon, so a decent IPO at Benchling could help with that, if the equity is there. But that’s a gamble, too.
Google over atlassian. But Benchling if you're willing to work hard or smart enough to get away with minimal work
Tell me more about why Google over Atlassian. Have you worked at both? Or is the grass greener at Google because you’re at Atlassian now and not as happy as you thought you’d be?
yeah i used to be at Google and the eng quality was higher, lot less tech debt, made life easier
Google any day over atlassian. I work at atlassian
Why?
Why?
atlassian culture has gone down drastically.what you have heard may no longer be true.
That’s unfortunate. Is this a recent change?
If you have no problem moving and working in the office, Google. If you want permanent WFH, Atlassian. Depends on what you want ultimately.
I kind of like the idea of being in the office, tbh, just would rather make the choice myself of how often to go in. But one of my interviewers told me that people often go in T/W/Th, show up on the late side, and leave on the early side, which would work for me to avoid traffic and be able to spend time with my toddler in the morning or afternoon/evening.
Definitely go Google. Atlassian still has offices with the flexibility to choose your schedule but the offices are pretty empty for the time being. I suspect Google will eventually go fully back to the office but you can reevaluate when and if the time comes.
Google, then Atlassian, then Benchling.
why Atlassian over Benchling?
Atlassian is bigger and more stable, which matters with a recession coming.
Google. There's a fair number of people that have moved from Atlassian to Google but not the other way around.
Update?
Benchling is out, Google has team matched me and I think my packet is going to HC, and Atlassian set up what I think is an offer call for this week.
Benchling didn't give you an offer?
offer numbers por favor?
What are the hints , waiting for my on-site result from Google
After finishing my onsite, one of the recruiters got in touch and said they were “very excited about the next steps!” Also talked about “working hard to get everything finalized,” which I assume means they’re finalizing an offer. Last time I interviewed (and was rejected), they scheduled a call without saying anything like that. Good luck!
I haven’t come across such enthusiastic and fast reply from google , before hand brat of luck
