I understand your ideological stance, I really do But read his reply again: >"Sure, everyone thinks you're a tech company or a search company or whatever - but Google is an advertising company, and thats it. All the other stuff distracts from the fact that youre just the most profitable ad company." "an advertising company, _and thats it_" (emphasis mine) "your _just_ the most profitable ad company" (emphasis mine) Really? It's that far in 1 direction If you really think that, fine it's your opinion and you are entitled to that, but I encourage you to seek multiple perspectives in the future. I've already conceded that google is an ad company from a rev perspective since it's 87% ads. But you can't concede to me (the interviewer) that maybe there's something else going on and your legit view of the other people at the company is that they are just "distractions"? Like seriously, you don't have to put up these tough walls. I'm just an internet stranger. Just be real for a moment. Is that what you really think? It's the last time I'll ask.
