- Terrible day-to-day experience - You’re treated like a number, not a person - If someone senior doesn’t like you, you’re targeted, and it’s downhill from there - They hire a lot because they know 50% of people won’t stay more than a year - Management is useless: you run team meetings for them, while they just check dashboards - Zero inspiration or leadership — everyone is burnt out or quietly quitting - Extremely high turnover and no long-term vision for your role

Mangement is toxic AF. If you do large projects and keep your managers in the loop (like one should as L3 and L4), they say you need hand-holding. If you try to do things independently, they say you are being insubordinate. There's no one way that you can go. Managers outright lie in performance reviews. Add info or projects that were never delegated to you, and even if you escalate it, no one takes note of it, and you become the bad guy. They also like being boot-licked, and such people are showered with spot and peer bonuses for their regular tasks, tasks they were hired for. I will run out of examples, the fact is Google is a sham, and it's worse because they sell "Googlyness". It's laughable. No career growth and projects just don't launch. If there's more work and you end up working on a holiday, your manager will put that as your incompetence. Seniors like to be bootlicked and your job is not what makes you good your asslicking tendencies if you have them can only help you survive,
