Hey all, I have a Google swe offer, and am debating if it's worth taking it or not. I'm seeing a lot of posts about new hires being put on SCI to fill up 12-18% quota. Not sure what's true, and what ain't. Currently enjoying my work, but worried about the AV industry / economy in general. Is the culture really turning bad right now? Would love to hear some truth from EMs and Directors. TC: 150k (+ paper money) Yoe: 1
Yes
Take it, SCIs are overrated and it is no where close to the % you quoted
You know Afghanistan also is a safe place it's only media that makes it look bad
It's a net upgrade
It's not as bad as Blind makes it out to be. I recommend reaching out to maybe 2 people in your network who work at G to get a more balanced take. Most likely they'll urge you to join, especially if you're leaving a manager you don't like.
My wife is actively trying to figure out which one of her people she needs to pip. Whatever the fuck you guys got going on is a hell of a lot worse than I've ever seen at Amazon.
Nah. I joined Google and its not anywhere close to the BS I have seen at amazon. I imagine you never attended an OLR before too see all the stack rank and backstabbing.
What is safe company in tech?
Do it. Would love to follow your progress and see if you end up on the SCI train.
short answer: no long answer: please read these threads below. first one is by an eng manager. https://us.teamblind.com/s/hXSGU6P2 https://us.teamblind.com/s/2NRtyO0v
