Comfortable
SWE New Grad • Former Employee
Mountain View, CA
January 23, 2026
Pros: It's a very comfortable place, depending on the team. Generally, it has a better WLB than most other "elite" industry—finance, consulting, law, etc.
Cons: Honestly, it's a very comfortable place. So, if you're craving something more than comfort or that's the antithesis of comfort, or if it requires you to get outside of your comfort zone, you might want to look somewhere else. That said, if what you're optimizing for is a comfortable, high-paying, high-prestige job, I'm not sure that it gets any better than this.
