That's nonsense, at least for Google.
In my organization, it was rare to work more than 8 hours. I worked ~8 hours at the office, and did little more than check email occasionally on evenings / weekends, and still managed to be promoted to staff SWE after 2 years. I knew several people that would arrive at 9:30 and leave by 4pm. It was like a vacation after the small IHV that I worked for previously.
- theDoug 9y agoSpeaking as another Googler, but over in Product Marketing Management, my experience of working hours and reward, and that of others, is similar to your observation. I remember being told on day two of Noogler training (paraphrasing) “if you find yourself working evenings and weekends something is messed up.” We actively want to find where efficiencies can be made or where more support is needed. Someone working 'harder' (AKA additional ass-in-chair-hours) does not deliver that.
