Facebook, Google, Apple, and Netflix still have some of the best talent in the bay. They also push out a lot of amazing projects (PyTorch, React, Go, Chromium, Tensorflow), although Netflix much less so.
At the end of the day they have the money, and they do provide ridiculous perks.
- ronilan 8y ago> They also push out a lot of amazing projects ... although Netflix much less so. Actually Netflix much more so, only their projects are not in software. Just sayin.
- onion2k 8y agoBut you will only ever be a tiny part of those big projects. If you want big challenges or big recognition perhaps a smaller startup will make you happier...
- baccheion 8y agoIn all likelihood you won't even work on any of those projects.
- nambit 8y agoNot necessarily. You can go to a team that works on a tiny part or you can go to a team that affects the entire company. You'd be surprised how few people want to work on the latter. Especially because the tiny parts are usually new press release type "fancy" stuff and not boring things like build systems, security, etc.
- coldcode 8y agoEver use Xcode on a day to day basis? Clearly not the best talent there.
- ilikerashers 8y agoNetflix have Chaos Monkey, Spinnaker and Jaeger. Maybe not industry leading but still better than Apple.
- poooogles 8y agoJaeger is Uber.
- ilikerashers 8y agoYou're correct there. My bad.
- skj 8y agoGoogle has quite a large team working on Spinnaker as well (sibling to my own team).
- jxub 8y agoAlso, Hystrix, Eureka, and other JVM microservicey packages.
