Obligatory nit: those are now things that Alphabet does, not Google.


Google is the brand still.

Plus, it's Google[X], which is a subsidiary of alphabet. So nitpick that if you want to nitpick. It still wouldn't be called Alphabet.

Also you still apply to Google for the job.

boatloads. smaller boatloads than ads, but still boatloads.
