Working on the core software of a very successful company will be safe. So say at google, working on search and ads. Android seems to be working out fine. But software for say the nest, less certain.
Working at Microsoft on the shrinking consumer os software is not that great. Working on the booming azure is safer.
More dangerous - working at a startup that is not self funding. Also since so many startups work best when growing markets, the whole startup ecosystem would seem to be impacted in a general downturn.
