I had a successful team match with Google but it was for Mountain View and I’m in Seattle. I told them I wasn’t willing to move even before they connected me with this team.
So the recruiter screwed up. But why don’t they allow remote work? I thought Google was supposed to be innovative with offices and work, but this seems really inflexible. And I see that they have higher-ups who are allowed to work remotely from other countries… but Senior SWEs apparently can’t work remote. This seems dumb.
I’m blacklisting Google until they fix their policies. I have plenty of good options that have embraced remote work regardless of pandemic status.

We’ll need to wait for a new extremely successful remote company before being able to convince everyone its possible and worth it.
TrueCar’s a tiny company but even we are seeing the need to at least have some in person time when spinning up new projects or planning something big. But no one wants to work here so we are giving in to remote and trying to make it work. I think for Google, they have the luxury of doing whatever they want. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are actually testing out a variety of hypothesis right now.
I will do anything to get into google and go the MF office
