I work at Google in marketing and the main difference is in culture. Google favors a very flat hierarchy which gives individual contributors a lot of ability to make decisions and take risks without consequences, but it also means there is not a set structure or way of doing things and you need to be okay with that ambiguity. So it fits the chaotic creative type, not so much the structured analytical type. Promo is difficult because of that flat hierarchy. It's a hell of a ride though
You have better WLB than Meta/Amazon, but promotion is also slower
On average Google has the most forgiving culture and the best WLB. Conversely promotion will likely be slower and there will usually be lower pay compared to Meta, Netflix, and sometimes Amazon. It can vary a lot by team and org.
You'll find a lot of ex-AWS people at google but not the other way around

The fact that I have several people on my team from Google means it is team dependent.
