For me, as a developer, it's a yes. Just this week:
1) I had to spent hours fixing a bug for an open source plugin that Google develops. The bug had a ticket that has been open for over 1 year and an existing pull requests from outside developers that provided the fix. The ticket was just left untouched even though they acknowledge the bug was critical and common usage for developers.
2) I had to deal with horrible Google Support that was of no help and wasted my time. They provided responses which was clearly wrong and doubled down. They also used coded words to tell me to bugger off. I am having to power through multiple emails to get them verify an app feature.
I feel Google has grown so big now that they can get away with being jerks. To me, its now just another large corporation that everyone has to deal with. I could only imagine the bureaucracy within. I wouldn't feel especially special for being an Google employee other than receiving a large paycheck. And I wouldn't even wink if someone told me they work for Google. Judging from comments from Google employees on Blind, my first thought would be that person probably has an ego.
