Google | No comp given
Steph's Notes:
Shamelessly stealing commentary from when I looked at a similar role listed at YouTube:
I'm not putting this in Tread Carefully because anything in the job is jumping out at me specifically – let's say it's a general wariness about Google's working environment and the fact that, again, the company doesn't address how they protect the mental health of those working in Trust & Safety at the company. Also, no salary transparency.
