This is just completely false. Google has just as much backstabing and infighting at the exec level as an company out there.
Well at least according the Larry Page:
> Finally, Page laid down the law: "If you keep fighting, we'll be very happy to send you to the competition."
> During the speech, one of the executives who was in the room turned to a friend and whispered:
> "Did he just say, 'zero tolerance for fighting? I've been here for years. All we do is fight."

And much more then people outside of the company think. As long as people like Eric Schmidt are on board there will be no shortage of hypocrisy and backstabbing.

- Zigurd 12y agoThat article doesn't say what you think it says. It starts with an HR person tut-tutting about desktop sex. About the only example of overt empire-building it cites is Google+, and we know how that ended. It also cites examples of self-organization and un-management, where leadership emerges bottom up. Argumentative meetings with the CEO are pretty much the opposite of a backstabbing culture.
