Google – “Too much hype, too little real value”

Pros

Many smart people, very challenging problems, good perks, excellent benefits, very good free food, good cash bonuses and engineering ladder promotions for personal achievements

Cons

too many good management places taken by old per-2003 guys, no way to move over them even if you are extraordinary, little personal freedom to work on your own idea (it was the other way around 4 years ago), too much protocol,

Advice to Senior Management

give more freedom to people, listen to engineer, people who are bellow are not stupid, you did too many mistakes because you do not listen to your people
