Google

There is no finer collection of engineering talent on the planet. Good perks, great free food. Fantastic talks from visiting speakers.

Google doesn't compete on speed; it competes on quality.

In that regard, it is a lot like Blizzard.

So if you're entrepreneurial and like to attack new markets, this is not a good place for you.

Guys, you still think you can attack any market? The reality is: Google's culture produces high quality, high performance products... slowly.

Therefore, don't waste your time and effort competing in rapidly evolving markets like social networks. Concentrate instead on staid and stodgy markets where the dominant design is clear and quality, performance, and cost are significant differentiators.

Android, Chrome, and Chrome OS are good examples, but also, why not kill Oracle, EMC, Cloudera, etc.?

As for Facebook, wait for social networking to mature, then fight on quality.
