Yes didn't take offers and clearly grapes our sour. Best of luck at your edgy startup.

Yes just like Waymo a 10 year bet is for advertising.

Can't fathom a Google thing being great ?

by mav3rick 7y ago
That is not true at all. You are regurgitating half baked theories of HNers who are just salty at Google (some balk at their success , some didn't get in etc .). Google's going to keep changing the world. HN is going to keep compl

You're already far behind due to your insecurities or Will an internet forum really guide your life ? An MIT grad will always have more gates open than an NCSU grad. You need to do other things in your career to lessen the gap. There i

It's reasonable for a big company to try and fail. When they don't try anything 'they're not innovative'. When they do..'oh look they failed'.

I am pointing out what he did. And yes I do feel cool for pointing out something egregious.

How is this contributing to the discussion. Do you feel cool now after a snarky comment ?

Damned if they do...damned if they don't. Why don't you just appreciate the actions if you can't assume someone is acting in good faith ? Have you opened up your bathrooms for the homeless ?

Do you have a bubble you're in by any chance ? Or hate Google because you didn't get in or don't like algo interviews ? Because many people on HN have openly said so.

It's higher bandwidth to work face to face. There are many studies citing the same.

He undermines Google in every post. Par for the course.

Enjoy the sub par "perks". As Amazon tells you that spending less on employees is the way to go.

HN will never admit to Google being great at anything. Keep coming up with "plausible" theories.

by mav3rick 7y ago
It's an asinine argument because it undermines any great thing in the world even when it may be great objectively.

It all depends between you and your manager. But as long as you're productive and are not always WFH, I have seen no issues with people taking days to WFH. Some specialists and proven architects negotiated to WFH full time.

At G you still get to fly in before. Amazon has enough money. They just don't want to spend it on employees. There's a reason churn is so bad there.

If the practices were really terrible these companies won't be doing this well. There must be a small degree of correlation between their perks and their output.

Aah, have you ever tried working on a project with a team from a different time zone. It can get slow when time zones don't sync. We travel to get face time and really prototype some difficult stuff. You're trying to defend Amazon

What a stupid point. Then there must be no special things in the world. Because if something truly is special, more people will like it. When it becomes popular enough you'd say "Oh it's just a numbers game". What a spec

At G you can regularly fly business. If you save the company money you can use the credits for upgrades in your next business related trip. I found that I am way more productive when I am flying half way across the world and am well rested

The travel cap is so ridiculously low. Even a 3 to 4 star hotel was over cap in South Africa and my PM friend had to pay out of pocket. Amazon truly hates its employees. The least they could do is free Prime but no not even that. Well let&#

Bezos fighting Trump. No history there. Also did Amazon send it's own security to help employees stuck in other countries ? I'm sure they would have charged people for help.

You won't get Google's culture. Regardless of the HN bubble it really is employee friendly and it shows in crises like these. Our health insurance is also the best if not way better than other FAANG + Microsoft. When the travel ba
