Great place to work, but is feeling more and more like a big company
Great opportunities, impact, perks, and colleagues.
The company is growing too much, and new leadership has changed the culture.
It starts to feel more like a big company with less motivated people.
The performance management process is excruciating.
For higher levels, it seems easier to get in as a connected external leader rather than growing from within.
Nurture your leads internally. Especially in the cloud organization, too many people have been brought from the outside at Director level and above, and have really deteriorated the excitement and the culture that I love at Google.
