I wouldn't be surprised to find that this is also something that would affect their ability to attract good talent.

I got the the Foobar Challenge last year. I did the first few levels within a couple days (you get about a week or so to do each one), and then realized I don't want to work for Google.

10 years ago? Absolutely. 5 years ago? Sure. Now? No way.

Edit: forgot a word

You don’t wanna work for a company that’s trying to penny pinch so hard they don’t even have enough desks for everyone? Spend a couple years of your life building something only for your boss to say “yeah sorry I guess Ruth’s shutting us down”?

Even Microsoft sounds like a better option at this point!
