In Sydney It's generally fine to arrive at 9 and leave at 5 as long as you produce reasonable output. In SV I noticed almost everyone worked way over 40 hours per week, overtime was the expectation and the norm.
I would assume this is not across all teams in all cases, just my first hand experience and also second hand anecdotes from colleagues.
- ZephyrBlu 6y agoInteresting. I would have thought things at Google would be relatively chill. People on /r/cscareerquestions who work at FAANG usually say they work less than 40hrs a week.
- shric 6y agoMaybe it's chill compared to other FAANG. I hear horror stories from Googlers in Seattle that are ex Amazon
- flukus 6y agoI would be shocked if that sub wasn't thoroughly astro-turfed. The constant influx of new devs and repetitive questions, the relative lack of experienced devs and the potentially large payoff make it the ideal breeding ground for manipulation.
- ZephyrBlu 6y agoThere are quite a few regulars, and funnily enough most people on the sub are quick to call out possible astro-turfing. It seems unlikely that it's thoroughly astro-turfed.
