Which teams or groups are less stressful from your experience?
G internal tools and android apps
I have no inside info, but blind frequently says the FB infra teams are where people are out of the office by 5.
Depends on the team. Frequently people here at 8pm in my building. I don't know of any slacker infra teams.... perhaps they know enough to keep quiet
You can have a low stress life on almost any team at Google. Teams doing new launches may have time pressure, but you’d almost never join them as your first team. They want people with experience using Google infrastructure to minimize launch risk.
It goes in cycles. I was chilling on my team last year but it's go time for me, working weekends now.
For FB, Seattle, on average, is more 9-5 than Menlo Park
EngProd teams
My strategy is to look for teams with no oncall rotations or at least check the bug tracker for the latest rotations to check how crazy and disruptive it is.
