If ICE can walk into Google, what protection do we really have
The ICE news lately is making me seriously nervous. I used to think deportation was something that happened in headlines, not to people like me. After reading that article, I don't know anymore. Someone posted internally asking what happens if ICE shows up again. Not hypothetically. Again. Apparently they already walked into the office once like it was normal. I have a green card. I followed every rule. I thought ICE was supposed to target undocumented immigrants, not show up at companies like Google.
Capital one orgs
C1 is a hire to fire company. They do forced silent layoffs of 20% twice a year and they call it PIP. But in reality, there is no logical or supervised evaluation. the managers select the directs that they โlikeโ and keep them. The rest are ranked based on the same criteria and let go. Meanwhile the co-workers throw each other under the bus so that they can survive. This all happens as ppl seem nice and smile at each other, till they are not.

@CapitalOne, that Tech Case interview is somewhat unnecessarily complicated and confusing for a Lead level role. I mean, 8 to 10 data-points for a truth-table with pretty confusing statements to even begin building that table. There's no practice material, and on top of it, if the Interviewer is impatiently interrupting more than helping - I recently did that Virtual Cards, and Transactions question in an interview.
How I sleep working for Apple and not Meta, Google, or Amazon.
I think people are missing the point. It is not about whether your job is chill or not. I see most of Apple engineers work harder than Microsoft engineers (I was at Azure before). No overnight oncalls (because it is client work) and no constant fear of layoffs are what makes people sleep well and healthy. People are much more socially approachable and have decent hobbies. I think managers are at harder position though. They are let go easily and have more meetings in the early morning and evening.
