Openness being part of the culture doesn't mean that everything Google does is disclosed publicly. Openness to the public, and openness within a company are two entirely separate issues, and there are obvious practical limits to both (at different levels) if you want to be competitive.
- dalke 13y agoI believe the previous poster was only talking about openness to the public. (Is Google distinctively more "open" internally than, say, Microsoft or SAP? I think that's a different topic, and one that I'm not so interested in.) As I wrote, I agree with the view that parts of Google are not disclosed publicly. My question is, we all know that Google has some closely held secrets. In that case, how do I tell if (public) openness is part of the culture? Can I use that to estimation method if the level of openness has increased or decreased at Google over the last decade?
