Anyone out there who can tell if Google is a terrible place to work or is Facebook just a awesome place to work? I really don't get it.

I would love to know why people are leaving Google for Facebook. I really don't think it is because of the money.

Is just more interesting these days?

Google is an awesome place to work, though like any big company, your experience will vary a lot based on your manager.

FaceBook, I've heard, is also an awesome place to work.

For what I've read, Google is becoming too big and some people complain that things aren't moving as fast as they once did.

Facebook is still younger, the teams are smaller, they still have to take shots at new ideas that will generate the revenue stream they need.

But I'm sure that money is also a big part of it, with crazy valuation numbers, being paid in stocks could turn some of the new recruits into millionaires.
