Honestly, this sounds like the problems at any largish engineering company. At least the nice thing about Google is that they're openly discussing it, and sort of scientifically at that. At other companies, you just resign yourself to politics being more than 50% of the equation, and the company slowly goes to hell in between increasingly rare and brief spurts of innovation.
