“Have you even played the Freerice game?”

read this in notgoogler’s wall of text, and realized that the inane ravings of the suburban couch analyst are the most ignorant and pretentious bullshit i’ve ever heard.

seriously, you’re admittedly neither a good student nor a google employee, so how DARE you insult people who spent their entire lives being educated to get their dream job. it wasn’t handed to them, but it didn’t work out anyway. that’s no reason to insult them. yes, it’s harder for impoverished africans, but you’re obviously not one, because you’re wasting your time in the internet like everyone else in the developed world.

how about you piss off and go help the africans if their plight is so important to you.

and before you accuse me of being heartless or ignorant, i went to college, i donate money to people like that, and more importantly, i donate my time. if google were so damn benevolent, the founders wouldn’t give piss poor starting salaries to the cream of the crop, and they certainly wouldn’t sit on billions of dollars when they could donate it to the same people they’re “helping” with freerice.

in short, fuck you

Other companies at least have good excuses for that. Google is still insanely profitable and it’s cutting cheap benefits anyway. Do you guys remember the scandal around Google’s daycare?
I honesly believe if Google cuts 90% of its workforce, nobody will notice that.

Well, you have to understand that google’s hiring process is a joke and many of its employees are poorly qualified for their jobs. Most of the folks posted here are recent graduates who never worked for corporations before. They tend to agree on any financial terms. Essentially 90% of engineers at google are doing nothing. Literally. Nobody cares as long as ads bring insane profits.

i would much rather work for a startup that for google. I would imagine at this point it is a fairly mindless job.

Let’s see- the article is titled “Why Google employees quit”, but everyone here is just bitching about the hiring process.
OK, whatever, but why did you quit after you WERE hired and working there?

I’ve rarely read such idiotic nonsense in all my many years on earth.

Low pay and stingy benefits are your motivational strategy? Dude, you need to spend some time studying motivation.

If you did not make the cut, don’t feel bad, you can still be part of this amazing revolution by buying their stock. The world will be in debt to Google for a very long time in light of the many free services they have provided.

I agree that HR should be more decentralised and not all be approved out of MV as the current long process of approvals from MV and little
authority from local offices causes pain and time and influences the spirit
within the company negatively.

It’s alright to be a billionaire but not to be a manipulative guy.

Eric Schmidt cares about nothing but his riches and he’ll want to bend you to that end.

And: I’m sure that if Google opened a data center in the african jungle, they’d want to hook these tribes and make money from them in the long term.

Or maybe electrical power is so cheap to manufacture there.

Why am I not surprised no one sited ethical reasons for quitting Google. Software is the last bastion of mid-level paying jobs in this country but it’s completely motivated by greed.

Someone at Google can’t/won’t even answer this question for instance:

We gotta quit relying on Google. It can’t be the backbone of the internet. Websearch should be done by peer 2 peer technology on personal computers, because it’s the responsibility of everyone that uses the internet. Not Google. Google should be a dinosaur already. Google employees should be ashamed. Google is the most unethical (ie. evil) entity on the scene.

Block Google ads. It’s very easy to block them even in Google services — if you must use them. Starve the beast.

Reading about Google and caring about customers is just too funny.

I can’t think of a company that cares less about customers. Just finding ‘customer support’ contact information anywhere on google.com is an exercise in futility.

Insular? You bet!

I applied to google a couple of months before I graduated. I applied to the location near UC Irvine in Irvine. That entire office was devoted to the Google Radio sh-it that turned belly up. I am glad I didn’t take part in it.
Anyone know what happened to that location? Is it closed? If not what are they working on?

I had a similar experience with Apple. The recruiter was reading off a script of pre-canned questions, which may not be so bad except he couldn’t even read all that well! I had to ask him several times to repeat some questions which I’m sure made me look dumb. In retrospect I wonder how someone with such poor reading skills got hired at Apple to do the hiring, but I’m glad the job went to someone else, as I now own my own business and am very happy.
