New managers are problematic
New managers are problematic
-
The fellow engineers and culture of helping each other is awesome.
-
You will love the tech-stack, technology, coding environment, and engineering culture.

The learning support website is awesome.
Earlier at Google, an engineer at L6 used to become a manager, and they were awesome. But now, due to a higher intake, more managers are needed and the number of L6s is less. So, Google started hiring from service companies. These new managers are a nuisance. Just avoid any team that has such a manager. Join a team only if the manager is a veteran engineer at Google and an engineer, rather than a direct hire at the L6 level.
Just stop hiring direct managers at L6. Only engineers at L5 should be promoted to L6 to become managers.
