Having worked at both, I'd recommend Google for a couple of years, then GTFO. You'll get massively overpaid (save your money!) and you'll learn some useful stuff. But it's a chaotic mess, the employees are spoiled, and you'll never become a real grown-up if you stay there long term.
Looks great on your resume, though.
- castratikron 8y agoI've interviewed there and my impression was that the average employee was very young, straight out of college. When I was there I was 27 and I felt slightly old.
- marcja 8y agoI am 45 and I definitely feel* closer to the median at Google than to the eldest extreme. *Note that I can't back this up with actual statistics. I'm just saying that I don't feel anywhere close to a graybeard elder at Google at age 45.
- dmoy 8y agoI'm on a team at Google, am 30s, and the second youngest on the team. Pretty sure. I definitely got that vibe 5+ years ago, but it's changed.
