We use Google for oauth, map and geolocation APIs for which we pay thousands of dollars every month and all my interactions with them have been very painful.
I remember when we asked for a meeting to discuss price raise on Google Maps APIs; The raise was ~100x for us.
They came with the head of the local market and 4 people. Basically told us to fuck ourselves and that from now on we'd have to be billed by a reseller instead of being billed by Google.
And then they spent an hour trying to convince us to move from AWS to GCP. I had the impression I was at a car dealership.
This is just an example out of many so even if I don't have direct experience with GCP I'm not keen to try.
I've been managing the AWS company account and the collaboration with AWS for the past 7 years.
And while not everything is perfect, my experience was great overall and I would do it again.
