In this episode, we kick off the second season of the Google SRE podcast, focusing on the journeys and challenges encountered by early-career Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) at Google. Hosts MP and Pam Vong engage with new SREs Tom and Megan, who discuss their shift from academia to the dynamic environment of Google’s infrastructure. They share insights into the steep learning curve, the collaborative and blameless culture of SRE, and the critical importance of maintaining work-life balance. Their experiences highlight the rewards of navigating this transition and the strong support system at Google.
