Google 2010 was a very different place from Google 2014, I only imagine it’s got worse. When I started in 2010 managers had IDEs and could discuss code, it didn’t matter if I came in at 11AM because I was there until 9PM and got the work done of 10 engineers (and led a bigger team) In 2014 is when other middle managers started pulling rank instead of letting data and facts win, suddenly being in at 9AM was important, suddenly programming skill was less important then brown-nosing, moronic death marches started as the B level,“yes men” programmers were hired, who were too scared to question authority and think for themselves. So I left and started my first company, best decision ever, but I imagine Google has got worse internally, especially seeing their laughably poor AI search results of late
