I've been at Google for nearly a decade as a SWE, and internally it's the most depressing it's ever been. Some symptoms come to mind:

- constant rounds of layoffs

- morale is terrible; everyone is overworked and burnt out

- perks constantly being cut

- suddenly extremely hard to get promoted

- executives are suddenly micromanaging teams

- general atmosphere of culture decay and leadership disconnect

I think these are probably just the vibes at MOST companies, but among several competing offers I initially joined google FOR its good culture, so this hits me especially hard. Are all tech companies like this? Some companies prioritize employee well-being and maintain a better atmosphere...but I have no insight into who those companies are. Anyone have thoughts?
