Google doesn't, I know I worked there. I'm pretty sure Facebook doesn't either. Some teams at Google uses standups, extremely few uses scrum with sprints. At least from message boards I didn't hear of anyone even talking about sprints or anything related to scrum. Google focuses more on individual responsibility and project/task ownership. Junior engineers gets to own small tasks, and as you move up the ladder you get larger and larger projects. Edit: A "small" task at Google could be a multi month venture btw, so not really "small" in the context of scrum. It could be to implement and deploy a service designed by a senior engineer etc. Edit Edit: The ladder even says that as a junior you independently complete tasks no longer than 3 months long or something like that. So giving a 2 month project to a junior engineer and letting him drive it and work on it on his own is expected. That sort of project ownership and experience doesn't exist for juniors in any scrum setting.
