Agree. Hope I never have to use it!

The free food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available for free, plus fruit, snacks and drinks too. There are coffee machines, but there are also staffed coffee bars with a variety of options so you never need to spend a dime on starbucks.

None of the perks are worth the politics and crazy-making of working at Google.

Depends on who you are comparing to??

Amazing !! Do you feel still worth joining although on H1B and need a green card option ?

The best perk was probably the Health Equity benefit that pays for my anti-depression and anxiety meds from being here for ~6 years.

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
