I used to work at both Google and Facebook and I still know a lot of people at both those places. My take on working at these large companies is, your experience will be massively different depending on what project you work on and what team you work with. Both companies have both brilliant engineers and mediocre engineers. The % of brilliant is higher than most workplaces, but there’s no guarantee. You have to actively seek out the work and the teammates that you click with.
