Thoughts on the following idea? I think Google's incentives have a problem similar to the incentives of any other company: It's open-ended, and possible to game everything. Whether promotions are based on the "hard problems" solved by your work, or the revenue it generates for the company -- or hell, even the software quality/performance -- this will always cause drama, people will get mad and leave. Any choice will lead to some positives and negatives for the whole company. You might hate Google's choice, maybe enough to leave, but you might end up joining Microsoft/MANA and hate their incentives too. Basically, you're back to square one.
