Does Google really have better WLB than Apple? My average work hours is ok here but I constantly have early morning meetings, next week I have 3 days in a row 6am meetings and I am not a morning person. Does Google employee all work 9-5?

Yes - we all work 9-5 strictly, and take multiple hours for lunch, then another hour in nap pods, plus 45min massages each day. Then you factor in coffee breaks, chatting with coworkers, and making memes, and we all work only 1hr each day really!

Yeah, it will depend largely on your team and your manager, but as a whole the company culture does not really embrace the idea of working hard and long hours for the sake of working long and hard hours.

From colleagues I know throughout FAANG I would say it sounds like Apple and Google are the most alike on a macrosense.

Huh?

I start at 8:30 and finish at 5. I’m considered “working very hard”

I usually work 10-6 and sometimes later because i want to… any meetings before 9am are declined.

While Indian consulting folks supporting the US folks do the bulk of the analysis, churning out the data and making the ppts, all the US folks do is attend meetings. Most of know basics of neither Alteryx, Power BI nor Tableau, while everyone in India is expected to know all the three. Most of the times we are expected to work till their afternoon (our Midnight)

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
