It feels like FAANG has become what it rose up against. They seem to be an extension of the government, and control. They mean well but paradoxically make things worse. The employees I’ve spoken to from any of these places are filled with arrogance, elitist, disconnected from reality, and yet miserable. Big companies are hell, filled with bureaucracy and incompetence and my impression is FAANG is no different. The censorship they’ve conducted is making a permanent scar. The only reason to work for them at this point is money, and these days you can find the same pay (if not better in some cases) at west coast tech companies outside of FAANG.
