Really? I know less about the GOOG organization than I thought, and I stand corrected. Thank you for correcting me.
Who is in charge of the engineering organization? A SVP? I would have assumed a Director of Engineering would have reported to Vic Gundotra, and overseen engineering as a whole.
That undermines half of my comment, so I'm glad you said something.
- joe_the_user 14y agoWell, it did rather obvious to me that Google, one of the most brilliant engineering companies in the world, wouldn't put Ray Kurzweil in charge of its engineering operations, a field he is known not to specialize in. Just as much, being such an engineering focused company, Google is going to have a lot of management people with titles related to engineering.
- jspthrowaway2 14y agoI'm not sure what you're trying to tell me, aside from I was too stupid to realize that the word Director doesn't translate among different organization charts. Is that accurate? I'm glad it was obvious for you? I'm not sure how to reply to this one. In my org, a director is at the top of a chart. Also, quite the contrary, Kurzweil was quite the engineer before becoming involved in futurism. A cursory Google will reveal several of his inventions. There is a Kurzweil K2600 sitting about six feet from me on display.
