- hn_go_brrrrr 6y agoThe common case is roles outside Google's core competencies, e.g. janitors and cooks. As you would expect at a company Google's size, there are exceptions to this. Security guards aren't contractors on the MTV campus, but they are on nearly every other site. On the flip side, I've heard anecdotes that some SWEs are temps but I'm not sure of the details there.
