1. Who says growth must come from hiring better or even more employees?
2. Does Google feel they already make the most of the talent they have?
3. Do existing Google employees feel they themselves are in the best position to shine?
- mkramlich 16y agoRegarding #2: I think they're not making the most of the talent they have. Google does some great/cool things. But I expect a lot more of that based on the number of employees they have, and the average level of talent/IQ they supposedly have. I suspect the discrepancy is caused by the dampening effect of having a large infrastructure and bureaucracy, and a possible clone/conformity effect from their hiring process. I believe their hiring process mostly filters for the wrong thing. At least with respect to folks who aren't already famous to begin with.
