The shine is off this company
The shine is off this company
Opportunity to have a lot of impact, if you're on the right team. Competent peers (I have not encountered a single incompetent peer at Google).
These days, politics and fights over control of the narrative, rather than technical competence, are the key skill to get ahead. This formerly great engineering company has become a company of politicians and McKinsey-ites.
Fire Sundar.
Revert to a peer-and-report-driven performance review, rather than the top-down power game of GRAD.
