In my opinion, and only my opinion : Google has for a while been toxic to the technology ecosystem. I don't think their halo is deserved, certainly not on the basis of the "free" trinkets they release to the public (like, say, Kubernetes). More often than not they are corrosive to innovation, and I don't take them at their word when they swear that your/mine/everybody's data is safe in their hands. It comes as no major surprise that their actual workplace is as toxic as their role in the market, even with all the creature comforts they dangle in front of their employee.
