I keep hearing about people going to Amazon and getting PIPed, and people getting fired from Facebook/Meta for this or that (tech lead…)

But, is anyone getting fired from Google? Or, are they just getting bored and leaving?

    I've been L3 for 4 years. this cycle i will go down to CME, next cycle NI and PIP, then fired. All in all you can have consistently shitty performance for over 5 years before you get fired, plenty of time to find a new job.

      So if someone were to join Google and suck at it, they wouldn’t have much to worry about? I’m wanting to try to work there, but impostor syndrome is real. Want to make sure if I feel like I’m not up to snuff, I can wing it for a while.

      No worried united everybody here has imposter syndrome. If u went through the grueling and shitty interview process and made it in, im sure u belong there.

    My perception is that Google's firings tend to be for HR reasons other than performance.

    They will fire you if your performance is bad, but it’s not like amazon that has forced attrition.
