Google has longer tenure.

The thing you seem to miss are the other common denominator.

Huge amount of money and unreasonably far into the future expectations of returns.

Means there is no short to medium term pressure to optimise for efficiency or returns, which means one of the fundamental element of good engineering environment is missing.

These companies build in a vacuum of limitations in term of cost and a vacuum in term of goals.

The average tenure at Google has been widely reported for while now as roughly one year.

That explains why working for Google seems so common. Hmm interesting, that explains a lot about why former Google developers are shit employees.

because they were in a massive hiring spree at that time, if you hire 10s of thousands of people in a single year it's going to drive down your average tenure
