I love the ending line:

> Finally, if you get fed up of working for a big company, consider joining a startup.

This one posting probably did more damage to google hiring from the HN ranks than all the others that I've seen to date. With friends like that who needs enemies.

This is good advice for any large company, not just Google. Tips #3 and #4 are key - I would prioritize those higher than #1 and #2. In short - make sure your manager/leader is capable of pushing you; make sure you get to work on visible projects; and optimize your time to make contributions to the more visible projects. One of the things I wish someone had told me a long time ago.
