google mountain view employee here - there is no stigma that i am aware of surrounding the nap pods; people just get caught up in the "so much to do, so little time to do it" cycle and don't want to leave their desks to go nap. i've even seen a surprising number of coworkers eating at their desks, something i can guarantee you there is no cultural expectation of within the company - again, it's just a case of individuals feeling the real or perceived pressure of work piling up too fast for them to step away.
