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.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
