so much this!

in my job i've dealt with dozens of Google engineers across a few teams... 95%+ of the time I don't get useful answers, and sometimes no answer at all. We have found many bugs in their systems, as well as broken API endpoints that did not work as advertised. Dealing with one issue right now that no one at google has been able to assist with in over 12 months. Of course with all the turn around on some teams, the issues just keep getting passed to the next guy.

they are by far the worst of the FAANG-level engineering teams we deal with, competency is severely lacking.
