Are people at Google really commonly working 80+ hour weeks like I read everywhere?
Assuming that's a myth, why do people leave Google? It seems like a dream place to work.
- mcantor 15y agoWhy do people leave anywhere? If you can believe there's no such thing as "The One" in dating, for example, you can believe people have good reasons for leaving Google. It's all subjective, after all.
- agravier 15y agoI worked for Google as software engineer. Many colleagues left to build their own business, often a start-up. Contrary to the common idea that Google eats up talent, I believe that Google is a great incubator, in fact. Personally, I left to pursue doctorate studies. The working hours are not crazy for all, but it's all bout getting things done, and people feel responsible of their tasks, so there is also a significant part of WFH.
