I think you're just in for a rude awakening if you expect the Google from 20 years ago. It's no longer a scrappy startup, it's closer to Microsoft at this point.
- utopcell 3y agoI'd be happy with the Google from 5 years ago.
- gonzo41 3y agoNah, it's closer to IBM.
- PessimalDecimal 3y agoCame here to say exactly this.
- inamberclad 3y agoThe thing that struck me about Google is that it's a really well running machine. The documentation is all there, the build system is easy, and just about every issue is fixed with a single form submitted or email sent. You quickly develop a very high standard for how an organization should function.
- dekhn 3y agoI think you left out the sarcasm tag
- inamberclad 3y agoCompared to a lot of startups, it's not sarcasm
- away271828 3y agoCompanies grow and they have to change. I was at a company that grew to about 10x the size of when I joined. It was still pretty successful but it was a different company. I didn't have the freedom and flexibility, there was more process, etc. Not as fun but you really can't run a 10x company like you run a 1x one.
