It did to me. I worked there for 12 years. It had immense prestige when I started the first time (2007) and it was totally justified. By the time I left (2021) it was a sad excuse for an employer. Terrible managers (that's you Megan K), constantly misleading information from leadership (that's you, Jeff dean), lack of ethical and human behavior from leadership (lookin' at you Megan K) lack of resources for high priority projects (that's you Urs), slow reduction in benefits (that's you, Ruth Porat).

Props to You!. Very rare these days to see people just speak their honest mind anywhere, not just here on HN. I had an interview scheduled for July 2020. COVID hit and my plans changed and since then pivoted multiple times towards finally settling down on a niche where I have someone on the inside to help me out with MVP development.
