Got reached out by a recruiter from google. Wanted to work more towards distributed systems, so told him I want to work infra and core tech such as spanner et which may have implied
Gcp. I didn’t do my research, apparently gcp doesn’t have the best rep.
1. Why is gcp getting a bad rep? What’s the complaint about work culture there
2. Doesn’t the rest of google use gcp infra under the hood or initiative to move to it? Eg at Amazon there’s a whole initiative to migrate all internal teams to aws.
3. Essentially I want to work on core tech whatever the fuck that means. Not to be grandios but want to work on the base of a distributed system (eg consensus algorithms) rather than build APIs around it. I assumed that I’m more likely to get that inside gcp. Is my assumption wrong?

OP, look into open source teams, that's where cutting edge is happening these days bc academics seek attention. Popular topics are serverless, ML schedulers/param managers, containerization/microservice frameworks, IoT, SDN, disaggregated storage.
If you just want pure distributed systems problems, ur better off working at Snowflake or Databricks or Hashicorp
