> Every worker there clocks in at 9, and clocks out at exactly 5
LUL! Those are amateur numbers, buddy. I do 11-6 maybe, and work at a big 5 tech company making big 5 tech company salaries. And frankly, we aren't working a lot of the time during the day either.
And yes, we have the "unlimited" vacation, which usually results in people taking about 4 weeks a year, on average.
I think people underestimate how easy it is to work at some of the big tech companies.
It is a short hand for the major/prestigious tech companies.
So it would be Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and maybe Netflix depending on who you ask.
And yes, I know that is more than 5 companies. It is a shorthand for "those prestigious, large tech companies that new grads apply to, and hire lots of people, and have large market caps".
If I talk to any new grad who is applying to companies these day, they will know what I mean when I say "big 5 tech companies".
This is a very common term in the interview/tech market and discussions.
