Why is it okay when they're hired using a subcontractor company?
Is it investors being stupid (unlikely?)
Is subcontractor headcount/cost not public information?
Are contractors actually good?
Are contractors instead of employees good for google, but detrimental to society as whole? (something investors aren't known to care about, so it makes sense).
Some other possibility I haven't considered?
- im3w1l 8y agoAt a guess: If the economy goes down the drain and Google needs to cut costs asap, they could kick out the contractors with a moments notice and tell the software people "no more perks for you". And the SWE's couldn't easily leave over the lost perks if all other places were struggling at the same time. So in that sense it's less risky.
