Google has always been the darling of silicon valley for their TC, WLB, Perks, Prestige, Stock etc. before 2020, even though Facebook/Netflix can beat Google's TC, they couldn't beat their WLB, Perks. In my opinion, Apple has overcome Google to become the best company to work for as SWE. To note, this only applies to Apple SWE orgs and not HWE orgs and IS&T which can get brutal with WLB. Here are my reasonings having worked at both Google and Apple, you may disagree with them so take it with a pinch of salt. 1. Apple SWE TC is better than Google in long term due to RSU refreshers, initial grant and stock growth. 2. Apple SWE WLB is certainly better than Facebook/Netlfix, we have once a year perf review and almost non-existent cases of PIP/Firing 3. Apple Perks are better than Google because perks in the pandemics have become worthless e.g. Food, Office massage, laundry. However we still have sweet Apple discounts and ESPP at Apple 4. Prestige, Apple as a brand is a tad better than Google because of the brand value 5. S/W Engineering, Privacy - Google might get more scrutiny from the government due to it's anti-trust laws but Apple is the favorite when it comes to privacy 6. More diversified portfolio and revenue streams as opposed to Google's ad business, investors love the diversification. TC:440K
Oh no... The culture is the big difference. So does Apple share source code across teams and orgs? Oh wait. Does Apple even have unified developer platform?
Apple brand is better? Lol
Lol I love how quickly you jumped over perks because pandemic 😂 Google has a plan to return to WFO so you can be sure perks will be back.
Will they? Ruth is axing stuff left and right
Google was famed not because of money/perks/coziness but bcoz of solid engineering. I don't see Apple beating it in any way. Google has more products and services than Apple. Its just that revenues are less from most of them. They would soon change their course IMO. Apple on the other hand is hyped up and way more valued. 70% of the world doesn't even what Apple offers. If you look at their market share their lion share comes from US and China. On the other hand it wouldn't be overstatement to say that the world will not be the same without Google or Microsoft.
The world can be a better place without windows. Lol
Can’t agree more!

Google has unions now. That’s enough reason to vote for Apple.
is it 1% base or TC? the faq on the website says that dues are "1% of total compensation, due monthly." either way shit's a scam regardless of your stance on unions LMAO
unions is suck. culture will be very political because some people will try to take other's credit. I wanna work with brilliant people who takes fair credit as much as they contribute. sigh.
