Pros

Working at Google was a small part of what made working there so great.

It was a great day, with awesome people.

I get to spend this week with one of my best friends again.

We will travel from Colorado to Montana for two events: a youth group camp and an AA meeting in Butte.

The night that we were going to drive to Montana, we had a few beers with another girl who we call "T". She's a college friend who lives in Virginia.

After work, we met at a local pub (remember the UK-style pub?

How times have changed.

Cons

Deming changed how people think about and work on their own projects and how to mentor their teams. Now, those who’ve worked with him say he’s a gentle, creative soul who seeks to help colleagues. In Google’s Building 8, he and his two deputies offer support to engineers as they work on projects that are often wildly speculative. For instance, “we’ve been doing [research on] brain-machine interfaces,” Deming says. “These are like, crazy new ideas.”
