- taylodl 2y agoBe real - those kind of people aren’t worth hiring!

- tarsinge 2y agoGoogle was so impactful in redefining work environment in the 2000s that people have now a very hard time getting over them being now just another old school big corporation. I remember in the early 2010s the aura Google had here on HN was crazy, I guess 10 years are still not enough to destroy that image.
- eitally 2y agoTo be fair, though, even if the culture isn't the same as ten years ago, the perks (and pay) generally are. For people who want to work in a technical role and who may be in traditional enterprise IT, looking up to big tech (including Google) is still pretty rational.
- twojobsoneboss 2y agoBingo if you can get a decent package and their stock continues to do well, that is life changing money
- Quazil 2y agoThey haven't been able to hire talent in over a decade. The only "talent" that ever considers working there is kids fresh out of school. Once it's a woke shithole no one important will work there. You can fleece them for money but no one capable of material contribution goes to google. Consider what was their last usable innovation? Making their web email client less usable? A third-rate cloud service? They don't even have a usable quantum computer; just a toy. Their flagship product is a pay-to-censured search engine. It's a giant company of assholes.
