In June 2019, leadership had a bright idea to redesign our compensation plan by moving it from a 50/50 split to a 40/60 split. Thus, 15 - 30% salary reductions for all sales. Mine was a $25K reduction. On paper, having a 40/60 split would be amazing because we can make more on the upside. The reality is that with a revenue recognition model that is based on consumption, you will need a healthy consumption machine to hit your number. Google has made it clear they want new logos at the sake of large enterprise deals. Large deals take too long so go find some small workloads. Skip trying to develop a large oppty, just find some low hanging fruit. It was no shock that PH and Klayko was bounced. The challenge is the rest of the clowns in leadership. Chicago office has 2 - 3 managers who should be released. NYC has at least 5. Austin is hilarious. Seriously, these guys??? LOL. Time will tell but I bet a bag of breakfast tacos that all of them will be out by year's end (2019).

At Google cloud: Toxic working environment, bad management (poor guidance, poor humanity). When I joined and asked colleagues for help when I had a question, response usually was "just google it, I don't have time for this". Aggressive environment and not a comfortable place to work at. I know some people at Google Ads though and they had very different experiences. I cannot recommend Google Cloud. People aren't friendly, very poor training is provided. Basically, onbparding consisted of a wekk of Bootcamp in either London or Mountanview where general Cloud Strategy is explained and a high level overview of products is given. After that you're thrown into the job, if you're lucky you have a good team. Management is very poor. One example, when my grandfather was sick and in hospital I asked my manager to return to my country to go to see him. His answer was "you can go, but be sure it's not to be away for more than one day". That's not a place I would want to be.
