I worked there and had to quit after 15 months due to the broken systems. So many people are there purely because of the pay (and I don't blame someone for wanting an easy job that pays $300,000+). But personally I do not want to work among people that are optimizing that hard for income. When I joined my team the first question I got was "Are you trying to get a promotion?". My manager was trying to be helpful so that he could assign promote-able projects. But the system is broken if that's how things work. I should instead be doing my best work on a project that needs to exist and by doing so get promoted. There were so many broken systems there. Once I made it clear to my boss I wanted to quit Google entirely he told me to just stick around for a year as he didn't want to do the paperwork to fire me. Thankfully I'm back at a startup. These days if I see a lot of YOE at Google on a resume it is a red flag.
