Paul is right... I personally moved back to the Bay Area in July committed to seriously "get my hack on" in Silicon Valley. It does not take much time or much

Paul is right... I personally moved back to the Bay Area in July committed to seriously "get my hack on" in Silicon Valley. It does not take much time or much discussion with Googlers, or attempting to get work with Google itself, to realize that Google has turned into a giant bureaucracy. The vibe is snobbish and lazy, not unlike the hare that sits on its butt and promptly loses the race to the turtle. I can state confidently that Google no longer wants talent. Google wants un-creative drones in middle-manager positions and interns. The unspoken message from ex-Googler's seems to be that Google is consistently morphing into a big uncreative bureaucratic embarassment.
