Google, Facebook, Palantir, Microsoft - it's a narrative that those organizations spend dollars to support because it helps them in recruitment and in b2b consulting. It is similar in investment banking and management consulting. The employees lap it up, and learn to talk-the-talk. Each of these tech companies are cash cows with huge locked-in revenue streams that do not depend so much on innovation for survival. IMO Amazon and Apple seem to be organized around accountability and sink or swim projects which create a different walk-the-walk culture, similar to start ups. Though I'm just an outsider looking in.
- ironjunkie 9y agoMy feeling also. The whole "At Google everyone is THE smartest in the world": This is marketing "talk-the-talk". It's crazy once you realize how easy it is to make the employees repeat the ego-flattering "talk-the-talk" without them realizing they are part of a huge marketing machine.
