I never dealt with readability, because Android did not require it. In fact that was part of their internal recruiting pitch: fed up with readability? Come work on Android! Heh.
I worked at Google circa 2015, and found the code review process to be actively terrible.
I was writing JS, while my sole teammate was a firmware engineer. He was not willing or able to meaningfully review my code, so I had to try to scrounge random reviewers from other teams. They naturally de-prioritized it, so it took forever. And because they were not involved in my project, they would only have local stylistic feedback.
Months in, I finally figured out that other engineers were just self-reviewing: you can add yourself as a reviewer and just click merge. So I started doing that too.
Over 16 years I've worked at only four companies, but one of them was Google, and it was honestly my least favorite.
Creature comforts: I have an actual cubicle with >2x the space. Excellent meals are still provided, but now lines are <1 min. I can always find a parking space. I can always find a bathroom stall.
Engineering culture: No more promo or perf review nonsense. There's none of the internal competition / pressure that I felt every day at Google. The org and leadership has vastly less churn. The place is dead at 5:15pm. And the people I work with are incredibly smart.
In terms of company: my new employer is not creepy. My grandmother understands what I work on.
