I left in 2021, only 3 years tenure. The company was extremely chaotic. We had multiple calls to walkout, unionization, Sundar locking down communication in the wake of people fighting on memegen. We had company wide drama all the time. I had a list of every major dramatic happening and it grew to like 5-6 things in a year. I showed my manager and we laughed about how crazy it was. I left and from what I hear it just got worse. Thomas Kurian gave ex-AWS people control of GCP. GCP is learning to execute like AWS but now it is becoming like AWS.

GCP has also been bringing in Oracle execs to run things. The results are very much so affecting our relationship with Google to the negative.

  > affecting our relationship with Google to the negative If you're paying them more money now then your relationship is affected to the positive (from Google Cloud's perspective).

Its pretty heartening that among all this drama and activism I've never heard of a users data being maliciously leaked from Google. To me thats the strongest signal that user data is pretty safe at Google (one of the authors points).
