Curious what professional growth looks like within Google. Is leadership actively involved and (substantively) supportive? Or is it primarily/fully self-created?

Most people talk to their manager about once every 1-2 weeks. Managers here are equivalent to partners at big 4.

You have to realize that partners in consulting firms are all about sales. So they are more akin to kae and kad - which we have lots of.

Also...we don't have very many managers and directors in security. Also our managers and directors are all about delivery and not sales. That is very different than consulting firms.

Like all big companies this is going to vary by team, org, etc.
For the most part, growth is supported and encouraged. If not, you can find a new team that is more support.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring?

Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.
