Be careful about that; said people are no longer at those companies for a reason. Often that reason is innocuous but there are people who slip through their hiring process and get washed out later.
The other thing to know is there's a lot more process at those giant companies, with good reason; "move fast and break things" doesn't work when you're making OSes or globally used search engines. Some people with long tenure there wind up more adept at managing process than the technical stuff.
- bsvalley 10y agoEngineers at the big 4 get exposed to a lot more opportunities... In today's world if you stayed at the same spot (title/employer) for more than 2 years I'd be asking myself: - Why you didn't get promoted? - Are you not landing any job interviews? Because I know you get tones of emails from recruiters - Are you still learning new things? Do you want to learn new things? In terms of processes at the big companies, you're looking for smart people... Processes don't tell me if you're smart or not. It's just you dealing with rules like any other human being.
