Familiar story... quite a few of the acquisitions were run by former Google APMs that worked directly/under Marissa. Most / all of these people are marketers / non-technical product guys... lots of the startups that were acquired had beautiful design and good PR but delivered underwhelming experiences beyond the shiny veneer. I have to say though that Marissa seems like a great boss to work for. She definitely rewards loyalty! The next great SV satire should be a House of Cards parody. House Brin & Page vs House Bezos vs House Zuckerberg.
