GCP vs Google

May 19, 2021 50 Comments

Heard some noise that GCP is gonna moved out from Google and will come under Alphabet.

If yes, will GCP SWEs be looked down compared to Google SWEs? They already have low hiring bar afaik.

How easy is internal transfer from Google to GCP and vice versa?

  • interviews are not team specific so how can hiring bar be low?

      I recently gave interview for Google India (GCP).
      And was asked super hard leetcode problems where everyone, even the guy writing the solution has written that it's infeasible to come up to its solution in the time frame of 50 minutes. 😜

      I later made it to Facebook London, and Apple India but facing threat of rejection in Google India (GCP).
      The bar isn't low at all.

      It’s not that the hiring bar is high in India. The bar for “engineers” graduating is so low that the hiring bar needs to be high to get any decent work out of them

      Lol. Msft and Adobe? I have interviewed with Uber, Google, Msft and Adobe recently. I can tell you google tops the list followed by uber. Adobe asks just shit questions (e.g was asked full form of an acronym that's not even commonly known ) and Msft was fine. Their offers/numbers also followed the same trend

    Wtf are people talking about on this thread? Interview bars are not team specific. You pass the general company bar (which is really high as usual), then you match with teams. It's very common to have SWEs get matches inside and outside GCP. But there's no 'bar' to team matching, you just talk about your interests. GCP has a more competitive vesting schedule as an incentive to join the PA though. For example my friends got L5 matched with GCP and Maps, but the GCP offer had the front loaded monthly 40/30/20/10 vesting schedule

    And what???? @OP who said the bar at Uber MS and Adobe is higher. Not true at all. I've gotten offers at all of those places and the interviews at MS and Adobe were a breeze compared to Google.
