1) Ads revenue is pretty stable so there is no rush to get a market fit hence engineers dont have to work super had
2) This is an infinite recursion, but since wlb is good a lot of emphasis is on code quality, which leads to it being very easy to write new code withouth it breaking as our testing is super good. Strong code review systems
A lot of folks hate part 2, so much enphasis on code quality leads to more time for code to be accepted, however once upon a time Search and Ads codebase was so bad that folks had to spend a lot of time just dealing with fires when there was a directive to increase our testing and code quality which has lead to life being much eaiser in that aspect
Please dm me if you are comfortable sharing here.
Contractors are treated like second class citizens - really it’s a corporate caste system.
- Better pay due to refreshers and stock growth.
- Better WLB due to once a year perf review
Apple HWE is terrible with WLB though from what I heard.
The perf process at Apple is much simpler than Google’s, and the managers seem to have a lot more say in the promo process. At Google, the promo committee process, while intended to make it more impartial, actually adds a lot of randomness to the process and makes managers feel somewhat helpless when trying to get their people promoted.
So you do everything tpm, tpm, and data scientist stuff all at once.
I ain't such a bad wlb though
