At a different FAANG company but seems hands down google is the answer. Mostly because you don’t have to say you work at Meta

You might get more relevant answers if you share which 2 companies you’re deciding between.

SC1 hesitation is comp and also the type of work. G1 thanks for the feedback

Pros for Google:
- Better culture
- Better WLB (generally)
- Better comp for 3-7 YOE (evens out around CC/SCC level)
- Monthly stock vesting (compared to quarterly at Meta)

Pros for Meta:
- Quicker promos
- Lots of management roles (and ability to manage earlier in career)
- Stock refreshers for year 1 (no Noogler y1 refresher at Google)
- Higher ratings multipliers for top performers (this year was 1.25x, 2x, 3x for Meta, and 2023 will be 1.25x, 1.65x, 2.5x compared to 1.2x, 1.4x, 1.6 at Google)

One other pro for Google: Google has a wide and varied range of different businesses, so there are many opportunities for internal transfer if you want to try something different down the road

Are the rest of the FAANG (Amazon, Apple, Netflix) just seen as a step below in terms of both TC and WLB? That seems to be the consensus view in these discussion forums but curious if there are other thoughts to the contrary.

If so, seems like it should then be FG as a first tier and then NAA as a second tier.

My impression is that Apple is on the lower end comp wise but the higher end WLB-wise.

For Netflix, Google and read their publicly available culture presentation. The reputation I’ve heard from inside the industry is that senior people go there to bust hump and make extra bank for a few final years before retiring. Great pay, terrible environment for most people.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
