- mrb 9y agoWith all due respect, it sounds like your article would be full of pre-conceived ideas since you have never worked at Google. At least those who quit have lived it and know for themselves. (And someone else's experience might be quite different if he had been in that person's shoes.)
- matte_black 9y agoWhat makes you think his lack of interest has anything to do with Google? He might have more interesting opportunities to pursue. I don't want to work at Google simply because I don't want to work that hard.
- rburhum 9y agoWell, this is where you are wrong. I have worked in the core team at several multi-billion dollar companies (e.g. Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc) and have received job offers to lead teams from other similar companies (including the one you mention and one of their fiercest competitor). With all due the respect, your assumption that it would be full of pre-concieved ideas is simply wrong. I just have anti-bodies that fully reject the Kool-Aid and the cult-level fanboyism that is so common around these companies.
- baseethrowaway 9y agoSo, you indeed have never worked at Google.
- freyir 9y ago>> you have never worked at Google > this is where you are wrong So, have you ever worked at Google?
- mrb 9y ago«common around these companies» The fact you assume it is common at Google is, exactly, a pre-conceived idea.
