Google is a big company, most possible types of tech job probably exist somewhere within it. There are toxic managers, dead end projects, and there are rocketships and places with amazing culture. I'm lucky to be on the good side of this, very much so, but I understand the experiences this person went through. One thing I would say is that some of the takes here suggest that the author missed some interesting learning and development from their experiences. That's not to say it would have changed the final outcome, and they may not have been set up to learn by their manager, but I came in from a similar background and met a few of the same challenges, but had different take-aways from them and feel I have grown as an engineer from my startup roots as a result.
