Crystalize is a troll just check their messages in the google server

tawny bough
#

oh im not part of the google server

#

im pretty sure gcp is one of the worst ones

#

but i thought youtube was one of the best

whole wing
#

this list isnt accurate

#

youtube is one of the most sought after orgs/pa

#

tons of great work (shorts, ml, reccommendations, etc)

#

and they have the best wlb out of most of google as well

#

gcp is worst wlb for equal or worse prestige, but work might be more "impactful"

#

gcp is <= youtube for prestige?

#

wat

#

kinda

#

that's because 90% of seattle is GCP, so if u end up in seattle loc chances r ur gcp

#

and theyre expanding a lot to compete with aws, azure, etc

#

so they thus have more interns and teams that need people

regal trellis
#

but why would that be prestigious

#

isn't prestige related to how hard it is to achieve X

whole wing
#

since gcp has way more interns than yt does

regal trellis
#

that's my question

#

is youtube not >> gcp in terms of prestige

#

Google research is the best

#

If you take YouTube over research here you're trolling btw ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

research is great opportunity

tawny bough
#

ok thank you, im just worried considering the research id be doing would be sort of niche that it would be more beneficial to do something more product facing

#

but i think it aligns better w my future anyways and seems to be just generally the better option

#

well what are your long term goals

Refer to the tier list me and people at quants/AI labs came up with, google research is renowned in general (S tier) compared to youtube.

tawny bough
#

why did you guys rank youtube so low? seems to be conflicting with other general opinions

analog trellis
#

There seems to be misconception about the tier list.

#

This isn't a prestige list or public aura list or compensation list or anything like that.

#

This is about roughly tracking the average quality of engineers within the respective team.

tawny bough
#

ohh

#

i thought it was about culture, wlb, etc

#

@tawny bough did you get a call with research?

analog trellis
# tawny bough i thought it was about culture, wlb, etc

No, me and the other people at quants/AI labs can only speak to engineer quality since theyve worked with various google SWE from different teams and talked to others. they aren't familiar enough to talk about the culture or WLB
