I worked at one of Microsoft Azure projects. It was good but I definetely felt like they promoted work-life balance with a “wink-wink” work extra. Ive always heard how microsoft was the best at work-life from the rest of FAANG so experiencing what I experienced at microsoft made me not want to do FAANG again. Towards the end I found myself working 10-12 hours a day and still didnt feel like it was enough. Even on holidays I put in an extra few hours of work. Only reason I didnt do weekends was to respect my work-life balance.
Im applying to new companies and with the slow market I get messages from google and amazon all the time. Im considering maybe taking their chat offer on and just seeing what it’s like.
On one hand if it isworse than what I experienced in MSFT, I dont want to work for FAANG again. On the other hand, I knew an older engineer who left MSFT and he had worked for other FAANG companies (including google and Amazon) and said the project we worked on was the worst organization he had ever seen and the older engineers didnt do a good job at helping the younger engineers.
I’ve always heard how bad amazon is with it. I havent really heard much about google. Is work-life balance that hard at these places?
